AVOID THIS BUILDING
Pros
large units and what seems like affordable rent until they jack it up insane prices upon your renewal. Hook line and sinker The super is really great.
Cons
The building has a drug ring operating out of a unit on the 1st floor. You will have meth addicts trying to get their fix from the dealer and when they’re turned away because they don’t have enough money they steal your packages from the lobby to sell for cash to buy drugs. The building is NOT SAFE. We moved out because we feared for our safety. The Managment does nothing about it. There is black mold in the bathrooms that gets painted over and no ventilation for the units. The exhaust vents do not work. The rent increases insane amounts and we struggled to pay. STAY AWAY. While we lived here the building had a HORRIBLE roach infestation as well the pest management company that was supposed to come never did. Avoid this building for your health and safety.
Advice to the owners
Fix the safety issue of the building. Install security cameras and a new video intercom system. It is 2026 there is no reason you can’t have these simple features in your building. Replace the ventilation and get proper exhaust fan duct work done to address the black mold.
Not the best.
Pros
Location Larger apartments than average for nyc Elevator (when it works) Trash chute Dishwasher Was affordable
Cons
ROACH INFESTATION ultimately the reason I moved Not rent stabilized. The landlord has raised the rent substantially over the years and it is not worth the price. Location. You essentially live on 11th Ave and it is a long walk just to access a local subway station. The building is isolated Very kind super but slow to fix anything Broken down elevator frequently BROKEN VENTILATION. The building hallways and apts have exhaust vents to help with airflow and they do not work. In the summer it’s not uncommon for mold and mildew and putrid smells which also encourages roaches. NOISE the floors in this building are paper thin creaky and have zero sound insulation. You will hear every single footstep above you. There is no peace or quiet if you are not on the top.!!!! BROKEN WASHERS AND DRYERS There used to be one more dryer and washer they had removed and 3/5 of the dryers don’t work 2/5 washers do not work. The vents probably need cleaned out on the dryers and the washer units need all replaced with larger more industrial front loaders. The management along with the laundry company are unresponsive. While living here I ended up having to do drop off wash and fold often because I do not have the time or money to waste waiting on two washers to hope they get my clothes clean.
Advice to the owners
FIX THE ROACH PROBLEM FIX THE VENTILATION FOR THE BUILDING AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REPLACE THE LAUNDRY ROOM OR HIRE ANOTHER COMPANY TO MANAGE IT!!!! Do not raise rent on tenants who increasingly live in an inferior building.
