Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Unresponsive and an elusive super

Pros

The neighbors tend to be really close knit. The kids play outside. Its a nice community and overall safe building. The rooms are large and the rent is not cheap but not outrageous

Cons

Its a very old school building. The management has the most basic online portal. The super is almost a ghost. Trying to get anything done is like pulling teeth. If you live on garden level you WILL get bugs. The building is not ADA friendly which is a problem since the tenents here tend be on the older side.

Advice to the owners

Invest in building upgrades and get a full maintence team for the garden and a super for the building.

Management sucks and neighborhood sucks

Pros

Building is relatively new and the neighbors in the building are for the most part nice and quiet. The super is pretty amazing

Cons

We have an F for efficiency rating and the heating/AC units in most if the apartments don't work. Management took over 1 year to take care of 1 of the non working AC units and never addressed the other. Woth the inefficiencies my con Edison bill was literally $1000/months. Outrageous. There's always homeless people outside shooting up and they get into the building constantly. We even saw one pick the locks to the building and steal out package (we asked the super to see what happened to out stolen package)... guess what nothing was done about it. It's super unsafe because who knows what else they could do roaming the building like that.
