Mice Droppings Everywhere
Pros
The neighbors are friendly.
Cons
I would not recommend renting here. The apartments are small and management continues increasing rent without properly maintaining the building. There has been an ongoing mice problem in my apartment/building. I’ve contacted management and the exterminator multiple times, bought my own traps and poison, and I still saw a mouse in my kitchen today. Management is also extremely difficult to reach unless money is involved. Emails and maintenance concerns often go unanswered, but rent-related communication gets immediate attention. For the amount tenants are paying, the building conditions and responsiveness from management are unacceptable.
Advice to the owners
My advice to management would be to focus less on raising rents and more on maintaining the building and responding to tenants. Ongoing issues like pests, delayed responses, and lack of communication make tenants feel ignored. Residents should not have to repeatedly follow up about basic living conditions or spend their own money trying to solve building problems. Better maintenance, faster responses, and more accountability would make a huge difference.
Do not live here - heat/hot water doesn’t work
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 the owners
Lower rent and actually address critical issues/set up a less flaccid on-call system for after-hours. It was 100% lip service.
