If you love extra roommates (cockroaches), live here!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good lighting in the halls
Cons:
Broken steps, dirty, wreaks of cigarettes, packages are constantly stolen, huge cockroach problem over the summer despite receiving monthly sprays and getting every type of poison and retardant. I have trauma from living here lol

Living in roach hell
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location right next to the B/D stop, washer/dryer in unit plus dishwasher are also a pro. It’s a gut reno so everything inside is pretty nice
Cons:
All of the pros are NOT outweighed by the massive roach problem. Despite monthly (if not more frequent) exterminator sprays and a multitude of additional poisons, NOTHING gets rid of these roaches. They are everywhere. We see on average 3-10 DAILY, in all sizes. There are so many babies there must be nests in the wall. Nothing gets rid of them. Save yourself and do not live here.
Also forgot to mention, packages frequently get stolen with little to no follow up from management.

Pest problems, frequent water/heat outages
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Lovely neighborhood, conveniently located a 2 min walk from the Grand St subway station
- Beautiful view of the park
- Laundry and dishwasher in unit
- Management was responsive once I got a direct phone number (although live in super would frequently leave me on read for hours even after double or triple texting ex. during the worst 24 hour water outage)

- Management was responsive once I got a direct phone number (although live in super would frequently leave me on read for hours even after double or triple texting ex. during the worst 24 hour water outage)
Cons:
- Severe bug problems during the summer / warmer months (drain bugs, eventually management got a recurring pest service to spray preventatively every month, tbd on whether that would solve the issue in the summer)
- Low water pressure all the time
- Repeated water outages (either no water at all or no hot water) that took hours or days to fix with minimal communication from management about when the issue would be resolved
- Boiler broke during the coldest week of the year (no heat, which was not resolved for days until it was escalated from the super to management)
- Frequently stolen mail

A nightmare with cheap upgraded finishing
Former Tenant
Pros:
Newly renovated with new appliances (fridge/stove/microwave)
Cons:
Cheap renovations from floors to pipes.
One night all the sewage pipes in the building somehow rerouted to my kitchen sink. It proceeded to slowly flood my apartment when anyone flushed the toilet or took a shower in the building came through my kitchen drain. Fast forward to me barreling water out of my bedroom window with a sauce pan to no avail. At one point accidentally throwing the sewage water on to my super below - who refused to turn the water off.
