Avoid this place at all costs
Pros
Great location - close to the train, boutique shopping, and amazing restaurants Rent stabilized units - although we felt like the price was a bit steep for what it was No natural light in back facing units - except for 1 hour in the afternoon
Cons
Like others have said, there is a terrible pest issue. Mice and roaches GALORE in the D building despite signing up for the monthly extermination services. I understand that roaches are a part of NYC living, but this place is infested. I’m constantly seeing baby/small roaches throughout the kitchen, bathroom, and living room. When I reported the mouse issue, their solution was to shove steel wool in between our radiator cover. We’ve also had a horrible time with stolen packages and 0 help from management. Not to mention broken appliances and unstable heat. For maintenance requests, despite using the app they provide, I would have to follow up manually almost every single time via email or nothing would get done. (Also – not technically a fault of the building management, but our upstairs neighbors are insanely loud from midnight to 4 AM every night and noise has been a huge issue.)
Advice to the owners
Fix the root of your pest issue, improve communication between maintenance and the super, implement cameras INSIDE the building – you have a persistent package theft issue
Great affordable spot
Pros
kind neighbors in a quiet area, management takes a second but is super kind once they get involved
Cons
walls are paper thin
