New, but poorly maintained
Former Tenant

Very walkable area, rooftop access, bus that can connect to the L is right outside your door

Terrible staff, laundry is subpar, no access to landlord, requests for maintenance go unheard for entire months

you get what you pay for
Former Tenant
Pros:

cheaper rent than other buildings in the area
large closets
cheaper rent than other buildings in the area
large closets
Cons:
Noisy neighbors that smoke all the time
Building hallways/stairs not clean
Can feel unsafe at night next to highway
Mice are a constant issue

Mice are a constant issue
Advice to owner:
Enforce no smoking rules and have someone come and clean the hallways monthly at a bare minimum. Install more lighting outside for safety.

Not at all fancy or lux despite the cost, but good enough
Former Tenant
Pros:
Garbage is orderly, private balconies, modern ish fixtures, not too much noise, everything is good enough and pretty standard in this building.
Cons:
Management and maintence can be really hard to get in contact with and can take a very long time to address an issue. The shared spaces (stairs, hallways, laundry) meet the bare requirements and are never cleaned or maintained- dust, dirt and marks all over the walls and floor, only the first floor is “freshly” painted. Heat and hot water routinely goes out for a day or two every few months. Only one laundry machine that barely works and is never serviced and pretty unusable.
Advice to owner:
It’s a decent building, but could be a great building with a little effort and additional care - new laundry machines and more of them, spruce up/ clean the shared spaces regularly, reliable maintence contacts and quicker help would go a long way!

Great but the ceiling leaked
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large rooms, real hard wood floors, large windows, super was helpful and answered when you called.
Cons:
Smoke detector was never installed and the ceiling leaked quite a bit. We were in the top floor so it must’ve been an issue with the roof. The super came to do patch work multiple times over a year.
Advice to owner:
Find a more permanent solution to the leak in 4F instead of continuously patching it.

Do not live here - heat/hot water doesn’t work
Former Tenant
Pros:
Sorry, not applicable.
Cons:
Heat/hot water went out dozens of times in the 6 months I lived there, and I ended up breaking the lease after threatening legal action. Took my security deposit back only by refusing last month’s rent.
Not to mention it’s a tiny and dirty apartment under BQE/in bad location for Manhattan prices. There was caked on grease all over the kitchen I had to clean, and damage to walls and doors.
***Managed by Amsterdam Property Group so avoid them at all costs.***

Advice to owner:
Lower rent and actually address critical issues/set up a less flaccid on-call system for after-hours. It was 100% lip service.
