    AVOID. SHITTY MANAGEMENT.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, thick walls
    Cons:
    Street traffic, noisy street, it can take a while to get any substantial repairs done. Many of the fixes are just patches not fundamental repairs. For example, upon knowing a building inspector was coming they simply painted over mold in the bathroom. It takes pressure to get things done the right way and even then sometimes it feels like an uphill battle. Management seems more
    Focused on making the building alluring to new, shorter term tenants, through glossy but shoddy renovations, than truly fixing anything but that is a well-work tale in NYC at this point.

    Many tenants are slobs about trash and I feel sorry for the maintenance crew who is responsible for cleaning up after them.

    Someone broke into my apartment and removed the lock (my assumption is it was maintenance who was angry because I had asked him to fix my filthy backed up tub on a saturday) as what seemed to be a form of intimidation. management didnt care at all. there was a camera in the hall that they said they couldn't review for some reason. really terrible people manage this place.

    Roaches & Pests, but quick management response
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    When you submit a problem to the portal, they respond quickly and usually send someone within a day or two to fix the issue.
    Cons:
    We have roaches and other bugs (spiders, crickets?) We had a leak in two windows that went unsolved for almost a year, there’s so much trash in front of the building and in the hallways, and our neighbors prop their door open and play music loudly.
