Cons
Building focused: SO overpriced and management SUCKS. They take no accountability and responsiveness does not even equate to the bare minimum. For 90% of my lease duration, there has been ongoing issues with package theft on a weekly basis. Not only is this a massive inconvenience, but also clearly unsettling to live in this type of atmosphere where this is so frequent, prevalent, and easy to do. No compensation to tenants and even more disappointingly, no effort to resolve the issue. Ie, upping security measures, changing codes, showing any type of concern with preventative measures. etc. Unit focused: balcony door doesn't lock, which is extremely unsafe considering neighboring balconies are all attached to each other. So just have to hope and pray you don't live next to a psycho. It's known within the building that unit's main doors can be opened with a credit card. Lovely. Kitchen window leaks every time it rains and was told someone would be sent to fix it...still waiting on that. Best of luck to whoever moves in next. Absolute joke to be expecting $3500 for a 1br with this lack of interest to care about tenants rights to feel like they can live safely and comfortably. Misleading and straight up lies on Streeteasy when stated that this is a doorman building - certainly is not.
Advice to the owners
If you want to charge luxury prices, you need to provide tenants with luxury customer service and actually care about the people putting money in your pocket. .
