Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.
Clean building and a convenient location.
There was someone constantly stealing packages left in the lobby. The lobby gate was also always damaged. They will also charge you for everything when you move out, they are crooks,
Don't steal people's hard-earned money.
Note that this review is for the building next door (170, not 168) but they are owned by the same people (168-170 E 112th Corp). Pros: New build with modern appliances, balconies from third floor and up, central A/C and heat, dishwasher, breakfast counter (no room for a table), big closets with ample storage, clean at move in, roof deck, gym access, de facto mail room (in front of elevator), elevator, neighbours keep to themselves, bathtubs with rainfall showerheads and incredible water pressure from all faucets, video intercom system, reasonably good safety (no break-ins, hardly any package theft), pet friendly for one cat per unit or one dog per unit for the ground floor suites with backyards, coin laundry in basement, bicycle room, garbage chutes on every floor, smaller building with between 2-4 units per floor, seven stories, and best for last - UTTERLY NO PESTS AND INCREDIBLE PEST CONTROL PRACTICES!!
Minimal cons. Incredibly overpriced for the neighborhood - there are literally daily shootings on this block. My unit is street-facing and I can hear everything from the street, including a kind of loud conversation or car radio. Windows are single pane and drafty so you end up using more AC and heat depending on the season. There was a year where the fire alarm system would malfunction and go on and off for hours based on an electrical malfunction, but that seems to have been taken care of. Note that they’ll have you replace your own smoke detectors even if they didn’t work when you moved in. The floors are the cheapest laminate you can buy and will become irreparably scratched up by any and all of your furniture, so don’t expect to get your damage deposit back. It is the tiniest bike room of all time so bikes are basically stacked on top of each other down there, it’s incredibly chaotic. The laundry machines are small and inefficient, they also tend to eat your coin sometimes. The fixtures are really cheap in general (E.g., hooks falling off the wall). The roof deck furniture has always been in disrepair.
Stop advertising the building as being across from the “safest” and “quietest” housing project, that simply isn’t true.
