Be careful moving here.
Pros
Good/safe area to live in. Pretty quiet unless your room is facing towards Houston street.
Cons
Management/landlord will absolutely try to take advantage of you. Many reviews I’ve seen are similar to what I and my roommates experienced. They made our move out experience absolutely terrible. The super chain smokes cigarettes in the hallways, our packages were stolen SEVERAL times and when asked for security footage to see who it was, we never got that. Supe never brought us rat traps when we asked for them, and even called us “pieces of s***” in Spanish as we were moving out. Very weird and aggressive behavior on their part, know your rights as a tenant before you move in because they will 100% try you. I would never live here ever again personally.
ups and mostly downs
Pros
Great location, near a lot of great stuff, walking distance for trains, shopping, grocery shopping, bars, liquor stores, bodegas, etc
Cons
Lol. Here we go. The landlord sucks (as do all NYC landlords). I had so many packages stolen within the first few months of living there and i kept asking for the security footage and he never gave it to me after repeated attempts. I kept putting up signs about stolen packages and someone kept taking them down. A little fishy!!! The place has mice. Holes behind our oven that an exterminator had to plug after our Live-in Supe failed to do so. Also had mice holes underneath the sink that the Supe was suppose to cover with concrete but never did. He never fulfilled requests and just was lazy and refused to do anything if it meant doing his job. He also chainsmokes cigarettes in the stairwell and the smell would fumigate throughout the entire complex. Going back to the landlord, moving out with him was abysmal. Calling what he does a "business" is crazy. Kept telling us we had to do things by a certain date even though our lease stated we had until the last day to get all of that done. We lost a key and couldnt make a copy of it and i kept asking him how much it was to replace it and all he said was "i am not getting into an argument with you, get a copy" but we couldnt. I told him we left a set of keys on the kitchen counter (as I have done with all other apartments I have lived in) and he said that was unacceptable and I had to hand it to the Supe and I responded "Why cant the supe walk down a flight of stairs and grab them from the apartment" and the landlord said "thats not his job" lmaooooooooooooo. And our lease never stated we had to give it to the Supe, just that the landlord had to have them. In the end he just said he was gonna charge us for the lost key....which was exactly what i was asking for in the first place. Lazy, stupid and unconcerned
