Poor management, bad neighbors, good location
Former Tenant
Pros:
The units themselves are decent (c) openigloo (updated kitchen and bathroom appliances, (c) openigloo decent square footage) and the (c) openigloo building is in a convenient (c) openigloo location. Easy access to the (c) openigloo L.
Cons:
There was a major leak (c) openigloo in the building and management (c) openigloo has yet to do anything (c) openigloo about the water damage and (c) openigloo subsequent mold. It would be (c) openigloo hard to fix the building (c) openigloo without tearing many of the (c) openigloo walls down, but the mold (c) openigloo could at least be treated. (c) openigloo Unfortunately, there are extremely messy (c) openigloo tenants which results in dirt (c) openigloo and debris constantly being in (c) openigloo the stairwell. The super cleans (c) openigloo once a month, but it (c) openigloo is otherwise filthy and smelly. (c) openigloo There have also been pest (c) openigloo issues since certain tenants moved (c) openigloo in (they were not present (c) openigloo before). Pest management comes to (c) openigloo treat the units but is (c) openigloo not very thorough. It's difficult (c) openigloo to treat the root of (c) openigloo the issue when it's caused (c) openigloo by specific tenants. It can (c) openigloo be loud at times in (c) openigloo the building but it's rare (c) openigloo to find an NYC apartment (c) openigloo that doesn't have thin walls. (c) openigloo There is a group of (c) openigloo 12 living in a 2-3 (c) openigloo bedroom apartment, this is a (c) openigloo safety hazard. They also leave (c) openigloo scooters, coolers, fruit, etc. in (c) openigloo the lobby consistently.
great apartment + location

(c) openigloo good amount of closet space (c) openigloo especially shared amongst roommates. stainless (c) openigloo steel kitchen appliances. best part (c) openigloo is that it's literally a (c) openigloo 2 minute walk from the (c) openigloo L train stop, 10 min (c) openigloo from the G stop. definitely (c) openigloo an up and coming area (c) openigloo with good selection of restaurants
Cons:
management can be unresponsive. there (c) openigloo were many times where i (c) openigloo had to follow up in (c) openigloo regards to issues (e.g. dishwasher (c) openigloo was not working, shower door (c) openigloo needed to be fixed).
this was the best out of a mediocre lot of apartments I’ve lived i

Central air, massive bath tub, (c) openigloo little balcony, pretty quiet, in (c) openigloo unit washer dryer, dishwasher
Cons:
Cannot have packages delivered here. (c) openigloo They will get stolen. (c) openigloo 2 bedroom is not a (c) openigloo true 2 bedroom. The second (c) openigloo small room is tiny (c) openigloo AF and the closet is (c) openigloo a joke.
Advice to owner:
Add a space to have packagers delivered safely
Infested with mold
Former Tenant
Pros:
None they are terrible humans.
Cons:
They rented their space to (c) openigloo a whole youth program and (c) openigloo community space knowing they had (c) openigloo a big mold issue. We (c) openigloo continued paying rent and they (c) openigloo ignored all of our request. (c) openigloo It made people sick so (c) openigloo all of our members left (c) openigloo and it destroyed our business (c) openigloo model and program. When we (c) openigloo started fighting back the owners (c) openigloo became aggressive, started recording us (c) openigloo In our space and installed (c) openigloo cameras leading directly into our (c) openigloo space.
Advice to owner:
Be better humans
Lovely but needs work
Former Tenant
Pros:
The maintenance man did a (c) openigloo great job at upkeeping the (c) openigloo building, and it was mostly (c) openigloo very clean. I felt safe (c) openigloo and welcomed in the building.
Cons:
- The management raises rents (c) openigloo tremendously to the point they’re (c) openigloo pushing out good tenants. -Management (c) openigloo takes a long time to (c) openigloo answer emails especially about repairs (c) openigloo or concerns. It’s best to (c) openigloo get someone’s number to speak (c) openigloo directly.
Advice to owner:
Value your tenants and don’t just look at them as dollar signs. Take accountability for your wrong doings. Make sure all apartments are cleaned and there are no past due bills. A new apartment it is a fresh start for tenants and we don’t need the additional stress.
