Excellent building, staff, and location
Pros
Great location, one block away from the park and near major commerce. The building staff is top notch, and will go out of their way to aid the residents. Finally, the building is very tastefully decorated, with wood paneling in the lobby/elevators and marble entrance floors.
Cons
Building garden is largely unusable - loud AC vents make it too noisy to use in the summer, too cold in the winter. The building’s location on the corner of Columbus Avenue also attracts some noise, mainly ambulances and truck driving down the street.
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
