    6th floor apt = never ending nightmare
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The renovated apartments are attractive. The bathroom in my unit is spacious and bright. There is a package room with a lock. The neighbors that I have met are friendly and nice. I only had one package stolen, ever (and it might have just gotten lost). The super is responsive about non-serious (ahem non-expensive) issues, which are quickly repaired. He is clearly trying his best and is very competent with minor repairs.
    Cons:
    Living on the 6th floor of this building has been a never-ending nightmare due to incessant roof leaks, water infiltration, and mold. The roof needs major maintenance but it is clear that the landlord only intends to do little quick fixes that do not address the underlying issues. Water has been coming through the ceiling in multiple locations in my apt, water runs down the walls, falling plaster, mold, etc. My experience has been: 1) i complain about roof leaks 2) management acknowledges but delays repairs as long as possible 3) management makes a minor repair OR lies about having done so 4) roof continues to leak 5) I involve HPD 6) landlord makes quick & ineffective fix in response to complaint 7) roof leaks again … and repeat. I have heard that multiple neighbors have had the exact same experience going back YEARS so this is clearly a pattern. I can’t speak for the lower floor apartments - they may well be perfectly fine - but avoid the 6th floor units! Do not fall for those cute little roof decks - they charge you a ton of extra money for them but they are so poorly constructed they are likely the source of the leaks. Also, management frequently moves them to do their fake repairs so you may not get to use them anyway.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the roof

    Nice features, prices, so-so neighbors
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My unit was fully renovated and has nice features and amenities, which were great. They keep the hallways pretty clean and the garbage/recycling area has improved from when I first moved in. The super and management aren't always very responsive but with some nagging they'll get things done.
    Cons:
    Not all the building units have been renovated and some seem to be long term rent control units with lifelong residents who can be...quirky. Some younger, partying types seemed to have moved in and can be loud as well. The heat is overwhelming sometimes and the hot water can be scalding hot. The finishes are nice but the quality isn't always top notch. Feels like it was rushed to look good to fill units but not long term.
    Advice to owner:
    Pay attention to residents requests to keep the building in good condition.

    There are worse but can be better
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Washer dryer dishwasher in units. Well insulated walls. Nice neighbors. Relatively quiet.
    Cons:
    Was cleaner and well maintained. Someone dumped milk into the recycling bin so the guy in charge of cleanliness quit. Management since hired someone new and it hasn’t been as well maintained as before. Seasonal small cockroaches, possibly due to restaurant downstairs. No rats though. Inconsistent heating during winter. Slow maintenance response time. Apartment management company absolutely the worst at responding. Spotty sunlight depending on unit.
    Advice to owner:
    Hire a new management company.
