Pros
Spacious apartments. Beautiful views. M34a bus right outside of the building.
Cons
Extremely high rent renewal amounts each year. Brookfield will attempt to raise your rent by $1k a month each year. No one can stick around past 1 or 2 years. Management owns the energy company Metergy which provides the electricity. Bills are anywhere from $400.00 to $1,000.00 per month. Brookfield has petitioned the city to allow them to make a bigger profit off of the energy. It is being voted on in 2 weeks. Folks will see their energy bills go up by 48%. Moving trucks every day because no one can stick around unless you are a settling tenant or on Section 8. Even those that applied through Housing Connect - NYC Affordable Housing, are being forced out due to the yearly high rent renewal amounts. The elected officials have been contacted by residents and have been on the Waterside property due to many complaints by tenants of unethical billing.
Advice to the owners
Get out!! You are destroying what use to be a beautiful community.
