Overall a good experience
Pros
I liked how social everyone was and how Common has the app with events. That was helpful to meet new people since I was new to NYC. I liked how much was included with the rent- a weekly cleaner for the suite, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc.
Cons
Over time the amenities and common spaces started to go downhill and get very to dirty. The maintenance person was very lazy and did the bare minimum.
Advice to the owners
Keep the amenities cleaner
Common Gates
Pros
All inclusive, One bill, furnished, weekly cleaning, basic supplies included, decent amenities, nice w/d.
Cons
Appliances in unit weren't fantastic. Took forever stove to get hot. Super thin walls between rooms. I could hear my neighbor whispering. Building management took forever to respond to issues. Major things were addressed pretty quickly.
Advice to the owners
Restocking supplies wasn't consistent . Also, virtually nothing was done about rather serious issues with other tenants. One guy was allowed to stumble around on drugs and drunk for months, dog was taken away by animal control, he would steal, get locked out and buzz other units at all hours of the night and multiple complaints were issued. Nothing was done. It was an unsafe situation which resulted in multiple good people transferring out of the building. Very disappointing.
