Overpriced, old, roach infested but with great staff
Pros
The doormen and staff are really great! Love that it’s a dog friendly building! Convenient location, right by subway and park. If you are in a north facing apartment it’s very quiet
Cons
Last year they tried to raise our rent 40%. We negotiated it down to 30%. They use high pressure tactics to get you to sign. There are cockroaches EVERYWHERE. We plug our sinks up every night, wipe down the sinks, do self extermination. We even keep our toaster in a 2 gallon zip lock bag so there’s no snacks for the roaches and they still come back! This used to be an old hotel that was converted into apartments so the kitchens are teenytiny. We don’t even have a kitchen drawer and have one kitchen cabinet! The fridge is old and tiny (I’m taller than it and I’m 5’ 3”), and the shelves are broken and are held up by super glue. Somehow management tries to argue this is a luxury building to justify the price. Bathrooms are old fixtures from the 80’s. Tiny sink with no storages. When it’s super cold out we get icicles on the inside of the bathroom window. There is lead in the paint.
Advice to the owners
Fix up this dump if you’re gonna charge high prices
So far so good
Pros
Very responsive and caring, super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Location is great!
Cons
Cleanliness before move-in was not great. Is a noisy street.
