Reviews

Former tenant·8 months ago

Good building, poor water pressure

Pros

Good amenities, big living space

Cons

Low water pressure, wish there were real keys

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

New build, hopefully new management

Pros

New fixtures, apartment layout is good for entertaining. Rooftop access. Not many bugs, no rodents. Close to subway. New super had just moved in as we were leaving. Management communicates poorly and tried to keep our security deposit even after the inspector said everything was clean.

Cons

Landlord illegally evicted people during the moratorium. One of the tenants regularly lets her dog defecate on the roof and it doesn’t get cleaned up. The basement gym has so much mold it hurts to breathe. Noisy block, hard to sleep at night if your unit faces the street.
