Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Good co-op building, could use more hallway cleaning & maintenance

Pros

Quiet block, overall quiet neighbors, safe

Cons

Hallways are not cleaned regularly, there have been multiple instances of dead cockroaches in the hallway that sit there for weeks or months before being cleaned

Former tenant·Over 4 years ago

Experience depends on unit and landlord (co-op building)

Pros

It’s very quiet and a beautiful block close to the park. They’re also now renovating the entry and making it nicer and cleaner.

Cons

There is a definite pest problem. We have seen a mouse, cockroach and mealworms in our apartment despite being very clean people. Things also do not get fixed and many thinfs are quite old. There is a lot of miscommunication with the owners.
