DON’T RENT HERE!
Pros
Beautiful building with leaking roof and awful management and landlord.
Cons
Beware this building and any property managed or owned by the company R.A. Cohen!! We had a leak in the roof for almost a year. The stairwell lights were always out making it dangerous to climb at night. Our front door was broken. Every single time, the office at R.A. Cohen would say they’re coming to fix it, they’re coming to fix it, and never did. We had to file multiple 311 reports. Only then did they respond and they were aggressive and rude. Still took them forever. Eventually the building caught fire in one of the first floor apartments and they blamed the tenants in that apartment, but we all suspected there was bad wiring in the building and that R.A. Cohen was also trying to harass and push out the tenants in that apartment because they had been there for decades (super nice family). After the fire, they said they would send a clean up service since our whole apartment was smoked out and covered in soot. They never did. At the end of our lease they said they’d be raising our rent and we moved out as soon as possible. R.A. Cohen is the worst of the worst—run away!
