Amazing super, TERRIBLE management
Pros
I've been here for a few years now and all in all it's a good building unless you have any issues. The super is fantastic and the reason why many residents have stayed so long. It is a pretty clean building (seen some dead roaches in the basement but nothing insane), never had any issues in my apartment with bugs. Otherwise the building is great and the neighbors are fantastic.
Cons
There is a huge issue with condensation from the air conditioning that affects a lot of the apartments. They've had to cut into my wall every summer for years now to address the condensation leaking from the pipes through the wall and causing mold. Management is always very slow to address major issues like this and its been a pain in the ass. They also are very unresponsive or slow to respond in general, especially when it comes to something they've done wrong or need to fix.
Lots of money for little service
Pros
-On the same block as the A train station. -Handyman is quick to respond on issues he can resolve or is in control of
Cons
-Amenities like gym and laundry are not 24 hrs, locked at 9 pm -When items in public areas break, are messy, or go missing, it is not repaired/replaced/cleaned in a timely fashion. Examples: 1. Over a month to fix broken washing machine, and no cleaning cycles are ever run on the machines so your clothes will smell thanks to neighbors who don’t wipe or clean up after themselves. 2. Rowing machine in gym has been broken for +7 months -The outdoor space is not available to use from Oct to April! -The package room is so small and disorganized, it’s almost impossible to get your packages, Also, the delivery people continually leave packages outside said package room.
Advice to the owners
Do better with up-keeping the building, repair things, and be available for tenants. We are paying a lot to be here, this is our home.
