Move Here At Your Own Risk
Pros
- New washer/dryers are great - Hardwood floors - Good location (close to multiple L stops/Cooper Park) - Tenant Association is pretty active, and neighbors do look out for each other
Cons
- Tenants have organized and withheld rent each of the last 2 years due to management negligence. Other tenants experienced issues such as bad heat in the winter, illegal subletting, no smoke detectors, no ventilation, repeated package theft. It is up to the tenant to make sure their apartment is up to code. - Management does not maintain roofdeck, it has great potential though. - Rotating cast of maintenance workers/supers, hard to know who does what - No operational security cameras in lobby/entrance Management is very hands-off with this building. Move here for the location, because there isn't much else.
Advice to the owners
Care about your tenants and their units a bit more actively, or they will keep organizing
Lots of room but bad management
Pros
Large floor plans and huge terraces for a pretty reasonable price. Location is good for commuting to Manhattan via the L, and there's also some cute bars and restaurants nearby. Neighbours are very friendly and helpful.
Cons
The elevator has broken down countless times during this summer. Amazon packages are stolen on the regular. Building management is scammy, oftentimes leading to tenants to seek legal action against them.
Advice to the owners
Get new building management please.
