I’ve been happy here
Pros
Capable super, largely responsive Garbage area well-maintained Laundry room is clean Not too much noise in building Friendly tenants Good heat and hot water Rent stabilized
Cons
Smells travel up through radiators or up around radiator pipes (tenant below me smokes cigarettes) Landlord office is not very responsive
Think before you sign
Pros
Nice renovated units with in-unit washer/dryer and dishwasher, overall quiet building. Mostly responsive live-in super. Trash is always taken care of and lobby is cleaned once a week.
Cons
MANAGEMENT IS UNRESPONSIVE AND COULD CARE LESS UNTIL ITS TIME FOR YOU TO PAY THEIR BILLS. During the pandemic, we wanted to renew but never received communication from management. Called the office everyday for them to tell us the person we need to speak with isn’t around. Our previous lease had expired and we wanted to stay. Meanwhile lots of units in the building remained empty because most people left during the pandemic. We got the run around for months then one day received a letter stating we owed them over $20k and we had to leave immediately. We wanted to stay, renew, but we never received a new lease. Make it make sense. We had a leak in our kitchen ceiling and in the storage space above my closet (which caused a mold situation) because of an illegal washer/dryer situation in the unit above us. The issue was never resolved and the leak continued after reporting it many times.
Advice to the owners
TAKE A BUSINESS CLASS AND LEARN SOME TO HAVE SOME CLASS. Or sell the building to someone who will actually care about its tenants.
