Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Bed Stuy 1bedroom

Pros

Neighbors are respectful and friendly. Super is a great guy. My unit is rent stabilized, which is incredible. Mgmt get problems fixed very quickly, typically same or next day. If they’re needing to get into the apartment to fix something, they always ask first if you’ll be home and if it’s okay to enter with their key if you’re not there.

Cons

No advanced intercom… just buzzer and buzz. No laundry (there is a place 1/2 block north tho).

Advice to the owners

Laundry in the basement would be amazing.

Nice people live in this building

Pros

Responsive friendly, super. Locked package room

Cons

In a 6 floor building that has a lot of elderly people as residents, the elevator has been broken for 3 months with no obvious effort to fix it. Have been security issues in the past, like package room being broken into, as well as a non-resident in the building soliciting money.
