This building was a great place to live! The location was great along with pricing and community. The elevator was always working and the apartment was a great size. Ramon, the super was the best part of this place!

Packages got stolen a lot, we had some mice issues but it didn't come up until a year and a half into living there.

Next to a hospital

We moved in March 2021. We fell in love with the spacious one-bedroom apartment at such an affordable price then we understood why it was so cheap. Very soon after we started seeing all these wet spots in the ceiling of our bedroom and one of them was bulging really bad. By September, the ceiling had fallen in while we were out on vacation. They fixed it and made it look brand new like when we moved in. Soon it started happening again. The bedroom smelled like a basement from the mold but airing it would make it better so we coped. Then we went on vacation again and when we came back there was black mold on top of our bed. We called the super, he cleaned it and "took a sample" with a cotton ball. We waited. When we asked what happened he said he lost the cotton ball but that that wasn't black mold... and the gaslighting started. We had to hire our own mold inspectors because we couldn't trust the one management sent after much begging. Our inspection said we had mold and we told them, so then they said theirs said there was mold too. The fixed the ceiling again, but the roof which is the root of the problem they didn't fix so it started happening again, so we decided to move. On the last months we spoke to the guy under us in 9F and he showed us picture of what was happening in his apartment. His side wall was open wide, exposing moldy and rusty metal. I was always sick there. All the people on the 10th floor have leaks or stains (we asked them all) but no one wants to move because its cheap and their ceiling hasn't caved in yet. They are all being ignored too when they put more pressure. Do not waste your time here. I know the apartments are spacious and cheap but there's a reason for that. The roof is so bad the 9th floor neighbor told us his neighbor on the 8th floor has it too. The super told them it was the air conditioner of the other neighbor. They all cover each other, it's awful. Update: a month after moving we still haven't received our direct deposit; we're going to small claims to get it. Mind you we followed all the rules, we are supposed to get it by the 14th because it wasn't a rent stabilized unit.
