DO NOT RENT HERE
Former Tenant
Pros:
good location, good apt layouts, in unit w/d
Cons:
This is a horribly managed building with common areas covered in trash (multiple citations from the city due to garbage pouring out in the sidewalk), and a rent stabilized tenant on the first floor who steals packages and harasses other tenants. The first floor tenant is a nightmare to neighbors and makes other tenants feel violated and unsafe. That apartment also almost started a fire due to negligence. Not anywhere near worth the price they are renting these apts for.
Advice to owner:
Tell the truth about the first floor tenant so other people don't unknowingly become the victims of theft and harassment. Lower

Beware of building and management company.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Apartment unit itself is nice.
Cons:
Management company is very absent for very expensive apartments. Difficult situation with neighbors, as management company is working to remove tenants, renovate units, and greatly increase rents.
Advice to owner:
Do a better job creating a positive dynamic between new and existing tenants. Be more present to actually manage the building.
