Solid Apartment all around
Pros
These apartments are nicely laid out and have nice thick walls. Well performing elevators will get you to your apartment quickly. The doorlady, Martha, is an absolute gem. Your packages will be very secure. Gym is solid, it's got a various spread of machines, and free weights. Game room has pool and pingpong. Appliances are all fairly new and well functioning. The bathrooms are all top of the line, and feature rain showers.
Cons
A/C can get very loud in the summer. Rattle-y. There are no stove exhausts. Doors have a bit of clearance at the bottom and you can hear the noises from the hall.
Advice to the owners
Improve A/C units.
Great!! (by NYC standards) (Written by someone from the country)
Pros
- Having a dishwasher is a GODSEND - The windows are big and allow for a lot of natural light - Super high ceilings! - In-unit heating/cooling by room - Quick response from management in regards to urgent situations. My roommate and I had a gas leak when we first moved in. Management responded quickly to that one. - Great location! Franklin Ave has a ton of great restaurants, and the Franklin Ave subway stop is a gift. - For NYC, the unit size is awesome - No pests! - The views from higher floors and the roof are breathtaking.
Cons
- The walls in the units are painted a HORRID grey color - It'll typically take a few days to a week before someone will respond to a non-urgent problem - Laundry room floods once every couple of months - Heating/cooling units are loud, and the temperature control isn't entirely accurate. But you'll stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. - Construction is starting to get in full swing on the building next door
Advice to the owners
Improve the laundry room, please! We need a few more units to handle busy days, and the flooding is awful to deal with.
