Seems good at first but is misleading and a lie
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean building for the most part and caring maintenance staff
Responsive when threatened or when 311 is called
Lacks ticket follow up and needs to submit multiple pest tickets
Cons:
Very evasive management
Raises rent very untenable amounts at any moment with no notice
Advice to owner:
Respond to your tenants

Would recommend it
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Location, both to transit and the greenness of Eastern Parkway
- Super and concierge are great
- Great light
Cons:
- expensive for what you get
- management can be aloof or unresponsive. Which is only an issue at the beginning and end of your lease

Nice building but thin walls
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building staff was great. The apartments are nicely maintained and have nice fixtures. Location is near the Franklin express stop is excellent.
Cons:
Some residents were rude when using the amenities (e.g., playing loud music or smoking in the pool room). Also the walls are paper thin. I could hear my neighbor's music constantly.

Not worth the money
Former Tenant
Pros:
Hired good staff in the building, amenities were nice
Cons:
Building and amenities not cared for well. Very expensive rent for the location and what you’re getting. Significant security threat, recently FBI raided an apartment as there was a serial rapist living here.

A great place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
The supers are very on top of maintenance requests. The apartments are nice and we’ve never had any issues with pests.
Cons:
The only con is that the common areas are not well taken care of.

Not completely horrible - but would not recommend
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice staff and neighbors. Tulu machine. Near Union Market and train. Dog spa. Rooftop. Gym.
Cons:
Roaches. People smoking constantly and smell of smoke in hallways and stairwells. Cleanliness and maintenance of building not great. For such a new building, it should not look so beat up. Amenities like lounge room are completely destroyed and things are never fixed, cleaned, or replaced. New front desk staff not very friendly or helpful. Package robberies from package room. Elevators out of order often. Things in apartment take forever to get fixed. It’s not up to par with what you expect to be getting for the price.
Advice to owner:
Get more eyes on the building and make sure stuff is getting fixed. Be on site more often and inspect the building. Invest in maintaining the building more than the absolute bare minimum.

Amazing yet expensive building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Everyone who works her is incredible. Great amenities, easy virtual doorman for packages, incredible light in the apartment
Cons:
Newly developing roach problem, rent went up a full $500 after my lease was up
Advice to owner:
Take care of the roaches. Put umbrellas up on the roof. Fix the printer so that it actually works!

Cons:
Minor delays in getting maintenance

It’s a hellhole
Former Tenant
Pros:
It looks pretty from the outside
Cons:
Management responds to all requests promptly saying they’re working on it, but nothing ever actually happens. Neighbors whose dogs bark all day and night. Damage done by maintenance never repaired. Trash rooms often overflowing. Holes in hallway walls from moving in and out never repaired. Trash juice never cleaned from the carpet. Workers let themselves in without even knocking and they said it was allowed because it was “an emergency” — the emergency was that was the day they had scheduled workers. No actual emergency. They didn’t even apologize. Just absolute garbage management charging obscene amounts of money.
Advice to owner:
Do better on LITERALLY every front. You’re setting yourself up for a lawsuit with your staff letting themselves into women’s homes without knocking.

Avoid this landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to the subway
Cons:
Things went downhill fast. BBQs are breaking and are not getting repaired, same applies for gym equipment. Garbage rooms are overflowing. No security in the building. The 24/7 doorman cut back to working hours.
Advice to owner:
Get things fixed, especially when your tenants are asking.
