Worked for post-grad
Pros
Affordable, ample laundry, and Roosevelt Island is generally great
Cons
Stained carpeting everywhere, bathroom would get moldy, and so so so many roaches
Don’t let them fool you
Pros
The only thing good about the apartment is the size except the bathroom.
Cons
Ever since C&C Management took over the quality of the management and the property is HORRIBLE. Dirty hallways, elevators, stairs etc. The management doesn’t answer the phone so you’re supposed to take the day off to catch someone to speak to. There’s a serious plumbing problem my bathroom had a leak which has the wall bubbling and excessive mold growing in my ceiling, medicine cabinet and behind my toilet. You have to email your issues then they hit you back with an automated response of them apologizing for taking so long to respond. Trash rooms stink and are filled with garbage spilling out. They turn off your heat when it’s cold. On top of that I’m paying market value and I heard that they’re taking nothing it section 8 now and programs from the shelters. So this should actually be turned into affordable housing!!!
Advice to the owners
Get a new management that manages the property. Stop allowing the property to deteriorate like a NYCHA development. Stop being cheap and higher maintenance staff. This was never like this when urban American had those property. Yall should be ashamed of yourself charging people that are hard working for luxury that definitely doesn’t exist.
