Reviews

Former tenant·just now

great, neighborly place to live

Pros

quiet, well maintained, good neighbors, laundry on site, regular extermination

Cons

old building/persistent pests in common spaces (garbage chutes), packages go missing occasionally

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Good Building, Loud Street

Pros

I lived here for 5 years, and had a positive experience. Clean building, good neighbors, responsive management and super.

Cons

There are roaches, like almost any large-prewar building, but so long as you sign up for the exterminator every month, you will not have an issue. Empire Blvd gets loud, but the building itself is good.
