Avoid if you can
Pros
Visually appealing and the M-F onsite super is friendly.
Cons
Management non-responsive for most of lease. And when they do respond, they rarely resolve anything.Lobby regularly unlocked and packages can be easily stolen. Laundry washing machine unit and window AC units are decades old and contain dust, stains, and mildew. Rather than keep the tenants happy, or work with them to extend the lease at a reasonable rate, they seem to rely on turnover. But have vacant units sitting for months. Overpriced given how difficult they are to deal with. Just look up the number of complaints they have on HPD.
Advice to the owners
Treat your tenants better
Nice building
Pros
Well kept, nice location, in-unit washer/dryer, a/c + heater combo, dishwasher, elevator, trash chute, big windows, Verizon Fios, shared roof space, built-in wardrobe/drawers along bedroom wall, keycode building entry.
Cons
Mice in basement by recycling bins, pipes burst in empty apartment flooding one of the floors in winter (but below mine so my apartment was safe), laundry washer smells like mildew, shared rooftop is on 2nd floor in back of building (not the top of the building), packages unattended in lobby could be taken.
Advice to the owners
Update some of the appliances and address the basement mouse problem more aggressively.
