Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenants praise the building's cleanliness, garbage management, and responsive super. However, some complain about noise levels from non-tenants, lack of security measures, and slow management responses. Despite modern amenities like central air and updated appliances, the building's exterior may be deceiving due to noisy neighbors, safety concerns, and package theft issues. Rent-stabilized prices are attractive, but the building's drawbacks should be considered before leasing. Consider improving security, addressing noise complaints, and enhancing communication with tenants to enhance the overall living experience.

Pleasant Experience Here
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rafael and Ben have been pleasant to work with and very quick in their response time when you want to lease. However anything beyond that lots of over promising and under delivering. Good thing tho is if you live in the back of the building you don’t hear anything.
Cons:
I wish it was a little bit more affordable compared to the rest of the units in the neighborhood. If you have issues they take forever to respond. There is favoritism. Lots of over promising to get you off the phone.
Advice to owner:
Invest in cameras please especially to the package room, all building entry, roof, garden, laundry, gym, and light up the path to the building entry at night
