Reviews

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

Nice starter apartment

Pros

Nice doormen, safe, quiet

Cons

Cockroach issue, bad property management

Former tenant·4 months ago

Terrible new management: Rose Associates

Pros

Great building staff. Very clean lobby.

Cons

Overheated building requires you to keep windows open all the time in the winter. Very old bones in this building. Only a single elevator, and no stair access to the basement (garbage room and laundry) is awful. Rose Associates is such a pain.

Advice to the owners

Rude, passive aggressive notices you send to the residents. You never answer any questions when we email you, always punting it to the building staff.
