Reviews

Former tenant·2 months ago

Management is Horrendous

Pros

The apartments are a nice size. The neighborhood has some nice coffee shops and good eats.

Cons

Management here sucks. It's impossible to get anything fixed. They are unkind and uncaring (not unique for NYC, but still... 😒). They charge us for building "upgrades" that suspiciously never create positive change. Laundry room is disgusting. There are a few neighbors who have disruptive gatherings outside, and have contributed to violence in the neighborhood (shootings outside our front door).

Advice to the owners

Get a new management company.

Former tenant·8 months ago

Ok building, bad management

Pros

Good neighbors, good area, bright apartments. Building itself isn’t too bad and building is quiet.

Cons

Terrible management, unresponsive, patched up repairs

Advice to the owners

Get better in repairs and responsiveness to tenants
