location is in a really nice neighborhood

check hpd violations

Everyone I encountered around the apartment was friendly and respectful. The lobby was always clean and well-maintained, and pest control made routine visits every few months for peace of mind. On top of that, the location is absolutely fabulous.

It’s important to note for current and upcoming tenants that there is significant construction happening. We were not made aware of this prior to moving in, and it creates near-constant noise. In addition, the construction has caused frequent plumbing and water issues, with water, hot water, and plumbing being shut off regularly. Unfortunately, this makes working from home extremely difficult.

Make sure tenants are aware of construction, manage water issues better.

My roommate and I loved the pre-war aesthetic of our unit! It was super charming and spacious enough that the two of us felt right at home.

Our ground floor unit flooded three times during our lease and management was unresponsive and not at all helpful when this occurred.

Be more proactive in assisting tenants!

Location is amazing

Bed bugs, a felon a apartment 5D that steals packages and chases people, heat turned off, disgusting smells, the toilet leaks from the unit above

Evict dangerous felons

Location. Neighbors (minus the thief). Quiet (except one noisy neighbor).

Pest. Mold. Poor structure. Water leaks. Unreliable heating. No elevator. No washer/dryer/dishwasher. Thief living in building who will steal all your packages and harass you. Small kitchen with 0 counter space. Small fridge. Poor closets/storage space. Small rooms. Basic old building with lots of issues for $$$. Rent increases without any repairs or upgrades.

Its a good location

A man lives with his mother in a unit in this building and is a rampant package thief. I caught him trying to steal my computer monitor!

Kick him out

The location is perfect

We had a terrible experience --- trash area was so bad it made the entire building smell. Cockroach infestations from neighbors, a ceiling leak in the bathroom that the management refused to fix until I threatened to sue. The ceiling ended up caving in. Avoid at all costs.

Get a new job

Clean hallways, long time residents know and look out for each other. Haven’t seen a mouse once her.

There was a squatter in the building but this should potentially be resolved soon. Have had issues with packages being stolen a few times.

The location is great and my apartment is in decent condition (but this is not the case for all in the building). Rent can be paid online.

The building management is unresponsive to serious issues. The trash management is atrocious - the backyard trash pit is a haven for rats, who sometimes get in the building when the door is left open! The heat is inconsistent- radiators stop working at random for days or weeks before management gets around to doing anything. There is a resident package theft. A panel of glass has been broken on the front door for months. Several months ago, a moderate rainstorm resulted in massive leaks throughout the common areas and in some apartments because management did not properly clear the roof drains. It was basically raining inside. Water damage (and the possibility of mold) remain unaddressed. Normal repair requests like leaky sinks take weeks to be addressed and require multiple follow ups.

Get your shit together.

Location, proximity to public transportation

Building management was horrible, lots of rats, water leaks.

Improve management of the building.

It is very quiet, the apartments are pretty nice and are built in a way you can’t hear through the walls.

Management doesn’t answer emails if they don’t feel like it. Took me a week to get a response about my heat being off in January, then days to fix it. Cockroaches of course, and the stray rat downstairs because the trash alley is so foul and overflowing with trash and then people leave the door open. Packages get stolen constantly and management does nothing. The super refuses to do anything and says management won’t give him money for very basic things. Stairways and lobby are filthy. I’ve spotted some massive dead cockroaches in the stairway.

Exposed brick is nice and relatively low noise levels unless you’re in the hallway

Very little responsiveness from management, water takes a long time to get cold, hallways don’t smell very clean

Answer tenants more often and remedy issues

Exposed Brick walls and nice hardwood floors

GIANT LEAK IN MY CEILING! Management has known since October 2021 about a leak in the smaller bedroom of 5C and has put bandaids over the problem. It requires actually attention and all their "fixes" had made the living situation worse. I had to call 311 twice. I'm literally moving (April 2022) because of their lack of responsiveness to this major issue! I slept with buckets around my bed and towels on the floor for months to catch all the drips. Not to mention the falling plaster ruining my belongings.

Do better.

Location is great.

It is tiny for what you are paying. We had a gas leak that we had to fight management with to get a new oven for. The water temperature is irregular, sometimes it only comes out hot and you have to run it for 5 mins straight.

More responsive and better supers.

Location is close to lots of transit, and the area is vibrant.

Management is unresponsive and unwilling to make critical repairs to the building such as leaks and fixing smoke detectors.

Location is great

Simple facilities make it difficult for packages

Good location, brick walls look nice

No super on site, took 10 hours for someone to come look at a leak in bathroom, packages stolen weekly, during covid there were looters that lived in the building and police over for domestic violence

Amazing location, wide staircase, nice super

Lights randomly turned off, hallways could be cleaner, packages occasionally stolen, thin walls

get new appliances and clean the hallways more

Great location and if you are noisy or like to throw parties or have Airbnber’s there will be no repercussions.

If something breaks your out of luck. The super is very overworked, it takes him a very long time to respond. No laundry in building and nearest laundromat is a far walk. Very bad heat in the winter, you will need to buy space heaters. Also very bad lighting. Packages constantly stolen. Walls are very thin, I could always here everything in the neighboring apartments.

Upgrade the fixtures and the heating system

Wide stair case, large bathrooms

Mostly everything else. Owners were unresponsive, little to no heat, pest control was nonexistent
