not safe at all

Pros

the shared rooftop and basement laundry is nice

Cons

the building is not secure at all. packages are stolen from inside almost daily. people break in through the roof and basement to steal and squat. know your rights, because management won’t respect them. last minute requests for access at all hours of the day, with no justification. unprofessional building was destabilized some years back but does not actually meet the requirements for destabilization. greedy owner and sleazy management

Advice to the owners

upgrade security, fix management

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Wasn’t the Safest

Pros

Rooftop, laundry, neighborhood

Cons

The building got broken into while I was there, and my things were stolen out of the storage unit. The rooftop is beautiful but the trash was never taken out so a lot of pests and flies. The walls are super thin, you can hear conversations from next door. The rooms are VERY TINY.

Advice to the owners

Take cleanliness and security of tenants more seriously.
