Small but nice
Former Tenant
Pros:
The on-site building management team is wonderful- super responsive, very kind and on top of things like garbage and monthly exterminations. They are the reason I’ve stayed in my apartment for so long, unfortunately the price is just too much for size and location
Cons:
The property team who owns these buildings are not the nicest, rent is consistently raised hundreds of dollars each renewal with no modifications or improvements on the apartment (rent went up $1800 over four years) plus the size of the apartment is not worth the price, the floors are scuffed by walking on them and walls are ruined immediately from oils from your fingers. Lastly, given the construction for the 1 train it’s basically a construction site and is providing a lot of hidden spots on the street that attracts heavy drug users and isn’t the safest anymore- not much the management team can do about that while the project wraps up
Advice to owner:
Idk maybe care more about humans over money

The maintenance team is phenomenal, and the building is well maintained. Good amenities, including gym in separate building and laundry in the basement.
Cons:
Some issues with package theft and smoke odor. Expect significant rent increases

Real gem in Hamilton Heights
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff is super responsive and keeps everything running smoothly. 1 train is half a block away.
Cons:
Great building in a grimy neighborhood. Loud music late at night from the street. Some people in the neighborhood throw their trash wherever and don't clean up after their dogs.
Advice to owner:
Treat your staff well because they do an amazing job keeping an older building livable.

The staff keeps the building pretty neat, you see them around always busy making sure everything is tidy.
Its proximity to the 1 train and Riverbank Park are priceless.
Is a pretty quiet street.

Rent has gone up a lot in recent years.

To have some sort of incentive for tenants that are loyal and diligent.
