Pretty good for the rent price
Pros
- great location, right around the corner from the subway and tons of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby - good natural light if you have a unit with all east facing windows and higher floor - washer dryer in unit - good size and number of closets for storage - good garbage management - this building has rent stabilized units so my rent went up 2.2% each year which was great bc it was very affordable considering the market - package delivery is mostly ok, over 3 years had 1 package stolen - they hired a guard to sit downstairs after an incident with some high schoolers hanging out and smoking in the building. He’s here during the weekdays and there haven’t been issues since - quick responses from property manager - nice super - overall after 3 years, would recommend the building since my unit is rent stabilized and for the price it’s a great deal for the size of apartment, in unit W/D and location
Cons
-not the most renovated, the walls have layers and layers of paint and are crackling/falling off, my unit has floors that are very old and no matter how much you clean still look dirty and damaged - had an issue with my oven where it had a missing part and it took forever to order so my oven didn’t work for the first 6 months - first few months after move in had 4 roaches in the apartment, 3 found dead but after having an exterminator come I didn’t have an issue - good sound insulation, don’t hear neighbors while in bedrooms but when in the kitchen area can hear anything in the hallway. - elevator frequently has issues, was down for over a week to fix but after fixing there are still issues from time to time where it doesn’t stop on the right floor or stalls out for like 20 seconds - front door sometimes has issues where it doesn’t properly close
Advice to the owners
No bad things to say!
Nice but overpriced.
Pros
The building is well maintained and the neighbors are friendly. The location is fantastic and the super very responsive.
Cons
Rent was raised $1000; unit was re-listed as a "luxury" apartment. It is a perfectly nice building but is definitely not luxury. Units are overpriced and management seemingly had no interest in retaining tenants.
