Really no complaints
Pros
Responsive, friendly building staff. Clean, never seen a bug.
Cons
Highly active tourist street. Had some issues with the water, mainly mysterious sediments and recurring brown water
Good and bad - overall mid
Pros
The location is great. So easy to get to the High Street subway station and York Street Subway station. We also love Dumbo and love how clean the sidewalks are around the neighborhood. Bob - the main guy who does all repairs in the building- is truly the unsung hero of 30 Washington Street. He's super responsive and very friendly. Also love the view from the roof.
Cons
A lot of things. Being on Washington Street (especially on the first floor as we are) can be a headache with all of the tourists. We can't keep our windows open because if tourists are standing on the sidewalk smoking, the smoke can instantly be smelled in our apartment. There is zero ventilation in the apartment and in the hallways. The air feels so still all the time. As a result we are constantly running the HVAC unit, which I don't love doing. Also the AC unit constantly turns off even though it should be on. I've message the property manager about this, and they "fix" it, but it isn't really fixed. The roof view has a great view, but the flooring of the roof is caving in. I've tripped multiple times, and I'm honestly surprised they haven't fixed it because it seems like a broken ankle lawsuit waiting to happen. Finally, they can be a little more responsive and responsible about bringing packages to the package room and organizing the accordingly.
Advice to the owners
See cons above, as there are some recommendations in there. Also give Bob a fat raise, he deserves it!
