Cons
Mold, Leaks, Water Damage, Unresponsive Management, Small rooms, only one washer dryer for the whole building Our apartment has had several leaks, one in the bedroom, one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. The bedroom one being the worst with water dumping into the room during a bad rain storm leaving an inch of standing water. It took several months of complaints for the roof to finally be fixed and while it has been better since, when you go on the roof after a rain storm you can feel pockets of water underneath, Seems its only a matter of time until the leaks start again. There was considerable damage after the leaks, mainly extremely warped floor boards and soooo much mold. The back of my dresser was covered in mold, shoes covered in mold, the suitcase under my bed covered in mold, the whole place just constantly smells like mold. I’ve never seen mold grow on my belongings like this in any other nyc apartment and all of us getting dehumidifiers for our rooms have barely helped. Also think the Central AC units may be part of the culprit as I’m pretty sure the filters and units have never been cleaned properly. The management is also extremely slow at responding and fixing things. The most concerning being when the front door of the building was broken, leading to an intruder in one of the apartments and it still took several days to even get a response and get the door fixed. I seriously worry about the structure of this building. One of the leaks in the bathroom lead to growth of black mold on the ceiling, they said its an issue with the whole structure of the building and the apartment would need to be vacant for it to be fixed. Nine months after our initial request to have repaired they merely plastered over the mold so it looks okay and they can rent it out immediately instead of actually fixing the issue. These are just the issues with my apartment but several others in the building during our time here have their own horror stories with damages and unresponsive management. If you move here beware, get a dehumidifier and be on top of emailing constantly to get things fixed!!!
