Alma Realty Corp

Spacious apartments, with steady heat.

Lots of package theft

Monitor package theft better and be preventative

Enjoyed the views, the neighbors (for the most part), LOTS of space and natural light, nice laundry room in the basement, always felt safe, good working elevator building

The commute from the train was ARDUOUS, I was always nervous ordering high value packages, management not the best at being responsive to maintenance requests

Good people in the building. Good sized apartments.

Roaches. Trash situation outside is always crazy. Landlord isn’t responsive and fixes in apartments are not well done

Affordable, well maintained, responsive super

Occasional pest issues

Rent stabilized
Unusual layouts, every unit is different
Friendly building staff
Good community of neighbors

Serially connected heat. If you get a crazy hot apartment, you can't adjust the baseboards because your neighbors will lose their heat.
Management/staff can be slow to respond, unequal in how they treat tenants
Building is old and a little crusty, air quality issues

mostly quiet building, you don't really hear what's going on in other people's places

This building has a nasty rat problem, and the way they handle the garbage doesn't help. Cheap and unresponsive realty company too.

rent stabilized, good folk around

bugs, rats, and trash

It's super quiet - have barely ever heard my neighbors.

Super can be slow to respond to requests but is very friendly and will be there for you if there is an emergency. Many tenants have had issues getting our in-wall AC/heat units replaced.

Address the AC unit issue

Spacious apartment, secure mailroom, laundry in the building and elevator

Owner doesn’t respond if there is a problem, noise levels

Every tenant matters

Community oriented neighborhood where the block looks out

Rats & Roaches.

Hire a routine exterminator esp for the winter time

The building is very well priced and neighbors are friendly. It's a great location, the apartments are a bit outdated, but you get what you pay for!

It's close to the above ground Shuttle train, which is loud.

Outdoor space for pretty much all units, decently spacious units, good light. Low prices for the location and views

Super is stretched very thin for such a big building. More maintenance staff is needed!

Hire more staff!!

I’ve lived in the building for 15 years, it’s mostly been good.

Packages regularly stolen, cooking gas has been off for over a month. They are VERY slow and unresponsive to fix things in the building. Leaks and broken intercom go unaddressed for months with regular messaging to management. I’ve been stuck in the elevator twice

Prioritize regular maintenance

The building is safe and well-maintained. Super was very helpful and attentive in case there were issues.

I was on the first floor, and it was noisy at times.

Almost all neighbors are quiet and very nice. There's great community amongst all the buildings in the complex. People look after each other. The location is wonderful. Most units have a spacious balcony or other outside space. The high floors have skyline views.

The apartments are average size and nothing that special without the location and balconies. No laundry in the building but it's across the street and unfortunately not maintained well. The absolute worst part is trying to get anything in my unit fixed in a timely manner. The super is constantly overwhelmed and flaky. I have to ask him 10 times to get him to do anything unless it's an absolute emergency. I can't blame him that much though. Many things in the buildings are falling apart - especially the AC units. He's stretched so thin already - good luck getting that fixed when it inevitably breaks!

You have to hire more maintenance staff. Service the AC units. Stop giving us excuses about that. Also, improve the laundry.

Nice building, nice neighbors. Laundry in the basement

Water leaks management fixes it but it’s really old Piping

Elevator and laundry in the basement, heat and hot water have been mostly consistent.

Neighbors are constantly breaking the front door entrance or leaving it open which allows vagrants to come in and camp out in the main stairwell, shooting up. Elevator breaks down or gets stuck at least once a month. Rats bigger than Yorkies hang out in the garbage area and sometimes surprise you in the laundry room. The super has become less and less responsive over the past few years to the point where I’ve given up on trying to get things fixed in my home. The price of the laundry machines has continued to go up without notice. Neighbors steal packages if they’re left in the lobby and the building management won’t do anything about it.

Fix the front door and try to press charges against anyone who breaks it.

Rent Stabilized and good sized apartments

Pests, Smell and Noise from Neighbors

Affordable and well-maintained unit. Generously apportioned bathroom and bare bones but not too tacky kitchen design.

Window leaked during storms and was never fixed. Some large bugs never fully eradicated in basement of unit (it was a first floor duplex). Inadequate soundproofing / loud tiles in hallway made noise an issue between units as well as between lobby and units.

quiet area, spacious for the rent price

cockroach issues, noisy lobby area, not updated building

control pests better coming in from the ground floor
