The properties are praised for cleanliness, garbage management, and water pressure, with convenient access to transportation. However, issues include troublesome roommates, slow maintenance responses, and unfulfilled promises by the landlord. Some tenants express concerns about neighbor behavior, noise levels, and pest control. Recommendations include improving communication, addressing repair delays promptly, and providing consistent building upkeep.

Crazy roommates apartment

Pros

Very clean Easy access to Manhattan

Cons

I had insane roommates. They were so crazy that at some point I started believing the police was living in my apartment too. Rude neighbors.

Advice to the owners

Background check your people

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

New landlords breaking the law

Pros

Super of building is attentive and kind

Cons

1444 Bedford Properties who recently bought the apartment is refusing to renew rent stabilized leases which is a clear and illegal violation of the rent code. They know people don't have the time and energy to fight them on this. Overall terrible money hungry people who leave the building in shambles while people are still living here.
