Great building with updated appliances
Pros
Gym on site, amenities and updated appliances
Cons
Walls are too thin. Noise levels are expected depending on area and usually not a bother but feeling comfortable in a private space is important.
Great apartments, room for improvement
Pros
Newly renovated, large apartments Relatively quiet building, on a very noisy street New laundry room and gym. (Gym is an additional $50/month) Close proximity to 4 and D trains with great commutes to downtown
Cons
Building utilizes key fobs for apartment and building entry. They only allow one per occupant within the apartment, so if you’re living alone, they won’t provide second key. Also, locksmiths cannot access your apartment if you lock yourself out so you are at the mercy of the landlord and maintenance staff to be available. Lastly, there is no manual key to override the battery operated system. While maintenance is responsive, this seems problematic. Ongoing renovations to apartments. Heat and water are regularly turned off for ongoing maintenance. While they do post notifications for shut-offs, they are too frequent. Woodycrest is an extremely loud street when the weather is nice. Because of the open lots at Woodycrest Ave and 162nd, there are street parties with loud music until late in the evening, both weeknights and weekends. If you can, choose a courtyard facing apartment. Secure package room still has not opened
Advice to the owners
Address the key fob situation. Allowing only one key fob per resident on single occupants doesn’t make sense. If I have guests/visitors, I’d like to be able to provide a key. Open the secure package room. Fix your email format. On mobile devices, the grey font on light blue background cannot be read.
