Not a great place to live
Pros
Across the street from a strip of stores and restaurants
Cons
This is not an ideal living situation. BRG management is horrible. They are not responsive and ignore calls and emails. They do not reinforce carpeting requirements making it impossible to get adequate sleep due to banging above that constantly shakes the whole apartment. The walls and floors are extremely thin so everything can be heard day and night. There are roaches and rats that come through the radiators. Not at all an ideal living situation
Advice to the owners
Don’t ignore tenants
Not up to par for a doorman building
Pros
The doormen were courteous people.
Cons
My tap water was brown for the entire term of my lease. When running the water, it would come out brown from the kitchen sink about 25% of the time, making it unfit to drink. I submitted complaints to 311. They responded to the complaints that they flushed the main fire hydrants nearby, but the problem persisted. I assume it has more to do with old and rusty water pipes. The building has a clothes moths problem. They live in the air ducts and were resident to my unit. This problem was not fixed, addressed, or taken seriously by the landlord or management. I also complained about my extremely old AC/heater unit, which made very loud and disruptive sounds, keeping me awake at night. This was not addressed by management. Overall, it's also a loud area to live in, especially if you face 3rd avenue. I found that I was sleeping with ear plugs in most of the time considering the traffic noise and heater problems.
