Honest review of long time resident
Pros
Location, close to the subway. Quiet neighbors.
Cons
no single person is responsible for lost items. The video cameras are fake useless when you need security follow up. No mail box control at the entrance, back entrance is very often open so anyone can come in. FINALLY The HEAT has become so much better after the new management. Excellent HEAT! Horrible laundry room, extremely small. Out of 4 washing machines 2 is always broken.
Advice to the owners
Replace the fake video cameras with the real one. Help your resident to identify the thief. Someone should be responsible for the safety of the building!!!
Don’t do it .
Pros
No brokers fee. Cheap application fee of $17.
Cons
The big water bugs that you’ll find in the hallways , laundry room and sometimes your apartment. As clean as you may be, constant roaches from others apartments of all sizes .It’s super loud in here as though everyone is in the same unit , there’s no insulation between the walls and floors . You can literally hear your neighbor FART and snore. People around you above/under you do not care about others . The noise level is insane, you will be woken up out your sleep numerous amounts of times throughout the night or day . You do not always get your mail but you are guaranteed to get other peoples mail. Packages also have been stolen even with the lobby having cameras . The workers will go into your mailbox and also your apartment without notifying you at all , prior and after. There’s no one to complain about the lack of management effort to be proactive and rectify concerns , they just collect a check it seems , as told to me by the building workers as well . There’s no heat in the winter and when there is it’s for a very short amount of time. On the outside the apartments look nice but on the inside it looks like the apartment was thrown together for the next fool to take up occupancy. They will keep your security deposit too , make up random things in order to keep it as well. The super would walk around drunk in the hallway . If you hang curtains , you’ll be charge for the holes you make in the wall, as per said super . Its a non smoking building but it’s always cigarette and weed smells in your house from either above , next door or below you. It’s just horrible .
Advice to the owners
The management doesn’t respond . The people that do work in the building daily are also no responsive and as humble and nice as you might be , will still blow you off and/or lie to your face . The higher ups do not answer emails but they will respond so that they can tell you they’ve passed on your complaints .
