Terrible, unclean building
Pros
The noise levels are kept to a minimum by neighbors and most people living in the building are friendly. There are rent stabilized units.
Cons
Pests are a HUGE problem. Even on the 7th floor I have dealt with roaches, spiders, centipedes, knats and even two different fly infestations. The building is barely maintained, spills are frequent in the hallways and elevators, trash is everywhere outside, the front door locks are always broken. I have had major leaks from the roof and management took nearly a year to fix it and it wasn't done well because my walls are still stained. All they do is put bandages on problems. The heating in the colder months is so hot that I have had to run my window AC units throughout the entire winter. Wouldn't recommend anyone waste their money living here.
Rodents & Roaches Galore
Pros
It’s great having laundry in the building (when it’s not flooded) and an elevator (when it’s not trapping people inside). The units are really spacious and it’s rent controlled.
Cons
Infested with mice, mold, and roaches throughout the building. It takes constant badgering to get a response from management. When I forest moved in, rotted food from 2019 was still in the fridge, work tools were everywhere, and a million other violations. I’ve had to threaten legal action to get anything done.
Advice to the owners
Give a damn about the families who live here. We aren’t rodents. We are people who deserve safety and cleanliness as we work constantly to pay your rent. This is what you signed up for, so fix it.
