Cons outweigh the Pros
Pros
Nice area surrounded by stores and short walk to the train, maintenance workers are nice and try to help as best they can, rent is low for NYC.
Cons
Management is terrible and apartments come with many issues. Took 6 months for them to send people to fix a hole in the wall that they made for no reason. You’ll be on hold with management for 20 minutes only to be greeted with rudeness by the people working the phones. Beware.
I want to move so bad
Pros
Staff is nice, apartments are decently sized, nice wood floors and granite countertops. Nice proximity to the subway and various stores/markets.
Cons
- Management is literally the worst. So unresponsive and they create problems that don’t even exist (ex. they made a hole in the kitchen wall because of a supposed leak in the pipes and 5 months later they have not fixed it and have yet to do anything about it). - One time they neglected to clean out the drain on the roof next to our apartment right before a hurricane causing our entire apartment to flood with several inches of water. They only had one handyman working that day and he couldn’t access all of the water cleaning equipment because it was locked away, so we had to go to sleep with our apartment flooded with water. - People constantly throw trash onto the roof next to us and it takes a very long time for staff to come and clean it up (again, unresponsive management). (TW: gory imagery) We once saw a dead, mutilated pigeon go through several stages of decay because it took months for someone to come pick it up. - Though they rarely come into the apartment, there’s a rodent infestation in the basement and all over this neighborhood. If you see any areas with plants stay away. Various roaches and bugs do make their way in though. - I can honestly name a million other issues but this is already getting long.
Advice to the owners
Management is the worst, only move here if you literally have no other option and even then, good luck.
