Reviews

Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Great Soho Location

Pros

Phenomenal location with spacious high-ceiling artists lofts

Cons

Older building with constant construction and honking

Former tenant·5 days ago

Criminality in real estate

Pros

Location is good

Cons

After having litigated against the rent regulated tenants for decades most of the remaining holdovers have manned the barricades and most of the tenants are now market rate people who keep their mouths shut about anything that does not work because they know that the leases will not be renewed and wind up in court like almost every tenant still here has experienced. The landlord now consists of a family who gossip has it — stole the building from the former owner — but neither the DA nor the police nor HPD lifted a finger to control the criminality involved in the operation of the building.
