Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

This man lied about his name and just got out of prison

Pros

It seemed cute

Cons

The landlord is a slumlord who lied about his name and pretended to not be who he was to hide his prison conviction.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Slumlord property - stay away

Pros

Close to the park. Tenants in the building are generally friendly.

Cons

- Garbage piles up to the point of rat and pest infestation. - upon moving in, the apartment was FILTHY, filled with prior tenants belongings, covered in dust and disgusting mysterious stains all over the place. It was downright uninhabitable and an immediate violation - Front door has been broken for two months and landlord doesn’t fix it. - doorbells don’t work and packages are constantly stolen if they are left outside or in the mail room (because the front door is broken) - illegally overcharging, as this is a rent stabilized building that has not been appropriately registered. - windows in units and stairwell are broken, with glass on the ground. - walls are thin and you can hear everything - platforms in the units have mold - common areas are filthy - covered in dust, leftover food, etc. It has not been cleaned in years. - landlord barges into my apartment without any consent, and whenever he wants. - kitchen fixtures are cheap as all hell. - doors do not have secure locks whatsoever.
