Reviews

Former tenant·8 months ago

Older but well maintained!

Pros

Live in super, monthly free exterminator (proactive), spacious, quiet on court side, windows in all bedrooms, elevator, incredible location & next to subway

Cons

Louder on street side, package thieves from time to time, a very occasional mouse issue

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Landlords are criminal!

Pros

In-unit washer dryer

Cons

Thin windows, roaches, and the heater doesn’t work for half the winter. When we complained about the apartment being 55 degrees in the winter (which is illegal), the landlord sent us fake noise complaints to try and force us to stop filing complaints.

Advice to the owners

Get better heating and better windows, stop extorting your tenants.
