Overall, good spot to be
Pros
Well-maintained building. Great roof, gym and laundry in building. Location can’t be beat in Bushwick. Just steps to everywhere you want to go. Train is a short walk away.
Cons
Depending on the unit you’re in, some have been converted to have additional bedrooms some of which might be too small to comply with city housing codes.
Avoid at all costs
Pros
The building was nice when I moved in
Cons
- Building management will do everything up to and including breaking state law to avoid returning your security deposit - Maintenance requests go unanswered for days at a time regardless of urgency, and even then often only when prompted multiple times - General building upkeep is poor. Common areas have broken door handles for months at a time, the rooftop area is not kept orderly, and the elevator breaks down regularly. Washers and dryers went down and were not repaired for over a year
