Reviews

Former tenant·2 hours ago

overall a fine place to live

Pros

location reasonable size for a 2 bed generally no major issues with heat, water, electricity hardwood floors

Cons

homeless people loitering in the entrance vestibule outdated kitchen fixtures, especially for price walls are thin and can hear outside noise plus neighbors' music and smell their weed (despite smoking being prohibited) very dark / limited natural light if facing the courtyard construction on neighboring building with obnoxiously loud workers screaming all day and trucks backing into the courtyard at 7am daily

Advice to the owners

secure the building entrance update kitchen appliances and cabinets increase soundproofing/advocate for tenants when neighbors engage in disruptive construction

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

do not move h

Pros

neighbor's are lovely, some have been in the building since it went up. Close proximity to subways, west village, west side highway

Cons

If you want to live in a building where everything goes wrong, this is the building for you. Heat and hot water go out at least once a week, cafeteria BLASTS music on the weekends and your whole apartment will shake. The super is useless and gaslights you constantly. The landlord is a slumlord who doesnt get the proper permitting for things so the building is extremely unsafe and a hazard. People complained that they say small baby rats in their apartment. enough said.

Advice to the owners

do better. treat you tenants with respect and do the right thing.
