One of my better NY apartments!
Pros
Overall very positive experience being a resident here. I love my floor to ceiling windows. Having a dishwasher and laundry downstairs rocks. Neighbors are respectful and the walls are thick. The location is so close to the J and multiple different busses, and being that we’re not in the trendy part of Bushwick, the area is family-oriented. Management is mostly efficient and responsive when I have a problem. The 1920s mansion façade on Bushwick Ave is also very charming to come home to.
Cons
Like in many New York apartment buildings, the details aren’t quite right. The building isn’t heated. The “package room” is a dingy storage closet (but better than having our stuff stolen!), the “laundry room” is a hallway outside of the boiler room with three washers and dryers parked directly in front of people’s basement apartments. There’s a roach problem down there that has occasionally proliferated upstairs. The superintendent is inconsistent with keeping the common spaces clean.
Advice to the owners
Charge less for an apartment with half functional, mismatched appliances that are sometimes installed upside down, and figure out the trash situation outside. The city keeps fining your building because we’re supposed to be composting.
