Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

1 year tenant

Pros

Price, rent stabilized

Cons

Pest management (cockroaches and mice), people congregating in alleyways and throwing trash out there, bad garbage management, severe maintenance issues. For example, the bathroom ceiling collapsed, leaving a 3-foot hole, and was leaking water.

Advice to the owners

Get a better super

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Pure trash

Pros

It’s still standing

Cons

Crappy management, unprofessional and incompetent super, terrible building conditions including persistent leaks and vermin.

Advice to the owners

Stop hiring incompetent, cheap labor and take care of building issues the right way. Don’t keep ignoring tenant complaints. Get a professional super who actually knows how to make repairs and isn’t a rude and disrespectful jerk to tenants. Change management companies because this one is trash. Stop retaliating whenever a tenant makes a complaint and actually do your job.
