its not horrible
Former Tenant
Pros:
tall ceilings, super close to the L and fun shops, nothing particularly super bad about it. cool vibes and big living room
Cons:
black mold all over bathroom, walls are outrageously thin, room is super small, only one room has a heater, only one outlet in my room, no window or fan or smoke alarm in living room/kitchen. Heat bill seems suspicious as there is only one heater and the landlord is the one that charges us.
Advice to owner:
cheaper rent!

It is what it is
Former Tenant
Pros:
Old loft building, beautiful apartments with lots of natural light.
Cons:
Non responsive landlord/super unless issue is highly property threatening. Broken washers/driers in building. Most apartments leak water from ceiling/windows on rainy days and the issue is never fixed.
Advice to owner:
Please be more responsive when flooding occurs

Convince yes, management NO
Former Tenant
Pros:
Right next to the Morgan L train. Beautiful windows. Pet friendly. The neighbors in the building I have talked to so far are really kind—(others don’t bother to even say hi.)
Cons:
The drawback with having big windows> ours ended up leaking during heavy storms. Lots of water damage from leaking ceilings. Management is terrible and unresponsive about fixing things. The ceilings were leaking for months before they sent someone over to fix it. Buzzers remain broken. Don’t expect for any action taken for weeks or months with an issue. With living in a old loft building, the sound proofing is pretty much non existent: you hear traffic out on the street and your neighbors fighting (multiple times) and throwing things at 2 am.
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive

Great for young people
Former Tenant
Pros:
- super close to subway - large windows, lots of light - high ceilings - hip neighborhood - rooftop - spacious lofts - only 13min to Manhattan
Cons:
- noisy street and sometimes loud neighbors (but mostly cool) - only one subway around (L) - between 2 factories - bad air, very industrial - dirty sidewalks around the building, roof, and often in the walkways - rats in the garbage outside (well, it is nyc) - hot water can end while you take the shower (heater tank) - no (freight) elevator - mail gets stolen sometimes
Advice to owner:
Would clean the street outside and keep the building cleaner inside.

A mixed bag
Former Tenant
Pros:
Open roof with a spectacular view. Tall ceiling and open spaces. 20 feet from the L. So much light!
Cons:
Management is not responsive. Things are a little hodgepodge. Trash management is not great.
Advice to owner:
Please be more responsive to tenant communication.

Not the best but not the worst
Former Tenant
Pros:
Giant roof, building managers are pretty responsive to common problems (bugs- exterminator comes right away, leaks- will come and fix things). Lots of space. Such a convenient location and fun neighborhood.
Cons:
Construction company is next door so the noise is about 7 am to 6 pm. Every. Day. Neighbors are rowdy, loud, and generally terrible. Music blasting every night, very regularly. No central heating, there’s only one heater in the apartment. No window in living room or ventilation. Packages are stolen very regularly, I don’t get anything delivered to the building.
Advice to owner:
Honestly, the building is pretty well run and the managers are very responsive. Could use new laundry machines (always leaking), and better security for the packages always being stolen.
