    Massive scam - don’t get fooled into thinking you’re living inn
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Location is great
    - washer/dryer in buildin
    Cons:
    - Management engages in race-based discrimination during renting process (refused to rent to my friend who was non-white on the basis that they did not want to associate with that “kind of people”)
    - packages frequently get stolen and entry buzzer does not work; on more than one occasion we observed random people in the common spaces who did not live in the building. It is not safe!
    - common areas (stairwells, laundry room, entry way) are dirty and unkempt, broken windows and cockroaches
    - studios are TINY. they will barely fit a full bed, have a mini fridge, and all StreetEasy renderings will have CGI furniture that does not fit in person
    - BEWARE the “renovation.” Management increased rent of apartments over $1000 by claiming they were newly renovated - in reality there are little no changes and this reflects managements complete disregard for tenants
    Advice to owner:
    Anti-racism classes; take care of building
