The building benefits from effective pest control and well-managed garbage disposal. Tenants appreciate the quiet neighbors and good heating in many units.

Exploitative Management Practices

Pros

I liked my apartment. It was spacious and conveniently located

Cons

The building management is horrid. Withheld significant amounts of money for cleaning fee (despite us sending videos of how clean the apartment was) and was threatened us with eviction numerous times for arbitrary rules we broke (no furniture through the lobby, throwing out bulky items, guests staying in the apartment, etc.) I feel so lucky to not live in this building anymore. Matthew Goldberg is slimy and I am so grateful to not have to deal with him ever again.
