Reviews

Former tenant·2 hours ago

Violated the law and moved us in without fire escape

Pros

I like my room size and the updated appliances

Cons

On a busy street, always people outside, mouse issue was quickly resolved

Former tenant·4 months ago

Large bedrooms (rare) in an authentic NYC neighborhood

Pros

- bedrooms are a good size - 10ish min walk from AC1 - literally right off the highway, so a car ride is very convenient

Cons

- parking in the entirety of the heights is insane. Not one point in the year can you find a spot. - the lobby of the building and the stairwell can get very very very smelly due to some hygiene / living quality issues of the older residents - people use the stoop to smoke and block the stairs. This makes it hard for older residents to walk, especially since there is no real handrail.

Advice to the owners

Install a handrail on the stairs. I’ve seen a few older folks slip or lose balance. Salt isn’t enough in the winter. Get the city to do wellness checks on older residents
