Solid building, but negligent management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartments are spacious and decently appointed. When the windows are closed, you can barely hear the street. The roof is nice, though no public bathroom hurts. The super (as of this writing) does his best. Greenpoint, of course, is wonderful.
Cons:
Management is negligent. They don’t communicate with residents. They changed the door code and never told anyone; the super had to let us in. They nickel and dime everything. When appliances break, which at 20 years old, everything is starting to break, it takes months (in the case of our laundry machine, over a year) to have them fixed. McGuinness is a hellish, dangerous street. We frequently lose heat or hot water. The bathrooms are prone to mold. The garage doors break often and get stuck open, leaving the entire building (including lobby) open to the public. Package theft is a serious, frequent problem. In sum, they are wildly overcharging for this building, even by eye-watering Greenpoint standards.
Advice to owner:
Find a soul and stop extorting people.
