Reviews

Former tenant·6 months ago

Not the worst, not the best

Pros

Nice location and street Good lighting in my unit

Cons

No live-in super Building management can take a while to respond and not at all on weekends really + only want to fix things with their own contractors who don't always do the best job Garbage management could be better, there are always rats at night I see by our cans They try to up the rent as much as they can every lease renewal at the last second

Advice to the owners

Idk, care more about your tenants

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Worth its price

Pros

The building is in a quiet street (apart from the casual block parties on weekends), relatively close to the subway (J line Halsey) only a 8min walk. Management is responsive for the most part and understanding. Water gets super hot and super cold (plus it’s included on rent) and every room has tall windows (plenty of sunlight comes in).

Cons

The mail gets pretty messy very often, I had packages stolen twice. Parking in the street is pretty hard after 5pm. The hallways get dirty sometimes and they don’t clean it up. No “allowed” access to rooftop even tho they are not strict about it but the latter up is a little sketchy. Had some trouble with washing machine for a while but that is finally fixed up (in unit).

Advice to the owners

Be a little more responsive and find a way to sort out the mail issue!
