Fine place to live
Pros
We have had a pretty positive experience here. It's definitely got some rough edges, but overall we have loved our apt and the building. Honestly, if you are moving here expecting a Williamsburg luxury-building level of service/amenties you will be disappointed, but as someone who's lived in this area for almost 10 years, it fits my needs perfectly. The roof view and the big windows are great.
Cons
The package room is a mess, and the amenities could use some work.
Advice to the owners
Fix the package room and update and repair some common areas and amenities.
Like living in a bougie shoebox w paper thin walls
Pros
Great location, great views.
Cons
Management does not care about you, they’re money leeches, and the building has extremely poor construction—I can hear both neighbors on either side of me, the ones above me AND the subway + police station (S line & precinct can get noisy if you’re on that side of the building). If you move here with kids or dogs, your neighbors will probably hate you. You’re going to spend a lot of money for mediocre amenities that you probably won’t use. Apartments are not well planned and constructed with VERY cheap materials. You’re charged to use amenities if you want to host, like the grills, rooftop, rooms, etc ON TOP of the $100 amenity fee you pay every month. They will monitor you on cameras and fine you if you bring more than 3 guests per household! Why am I living under such surveillance?? Wish I knew more before I moved in but was charmed by a brand new building.
Advice to the owners
Maybe actually learn to care about the people that live in the building and the money will come regardless.
