Great walk-up building

Former Tenant

Pros:

Lots of living space, good location, neighbors are not loud. When we had a roach they were very responsive and we have not had one since.

Cons:

Heat doesn't work very well, landlord is not very responsive.

Renovated but poor management

Large space, big windows, good sunlight

Unresponsive landlord, heating works badly in the winter because windows are not insulated, appliances break easily, pests in summer

7 months ago

Good floor plans but that’s it

Located above a good grocery store, large windows

Badly managed, summer pests, unclean

Please be more responsive as a landlord!! I understand you’re busy

Decent Apartment, Horrible Landlord

Former Tenant

Pros:

Great location. Simple but functional apartments.

Cons:

Landlord does not respond or care about tenant feedback or living conditions. If you have an issue, he will not respond and if he does you will get a quick, cheap “fix”. I’d avoid this building solely based on who the landlord is. Apartment also had leaks, mice, and cockroaches. Hallways and stairwells are dirty. Lack of building security with unwarranted access.

Advice to owner:

Respond to your tenants, fix issues with apartments

Decent small building

Former Tenant

Pros:

Small building not a lot of apartments, newly renovated unit with updated appliances and exposed red brick walls.

Cons:

Trash room on each floor which smells real bad sometimes, common stairs area needs paint.

Advice to owner:

Paint the common area and add new intercom system to the front door.

Decent building and unit

Former Tenant

Pros:

Clean, agents are respectful, no huge complaints

Cons:

Right in front of Queensboro bridge, gets loud

Over 3 years ago

Perfect for solo tenants who like quiet

Former Tenant

Pros:

Units are small so tenants don’t tend to have parties or be overly loud. Affordable (relatively) for a 1 br unit.

Cons:

Landlord could be more responsive, you really have to make an effort to get in contact. Appliances are old and small.

Advice to owner:

Small upgrades would go a long way, like modernizing appliances. But keep rent prices affordable and people will likely excuse those smaller things!

Terrible and Unresponsive Management

Former Tenant

Pros:

Taking out the trash was really easy. There's a little trash closet on every floor with a garbage can and recycling bins inside. I lived in 4B and the unit was nice, updated, and we never had a problem with bugs.

Cons:

The management is horrible. Our ceiling fan in the living room has been broken the entire time we lived there and the management never did anything about it even though we emailed and called them at least once a week for about 3 months. Also, the only way to pay rent is by check that has to be dropped off at the landlord's building. In addition, the hallways are only cleaned every other month.

I would not recommend this building

Former Tenant

Pros:

Management changed broken stove quickly.
Heat is fine.

Cons:

Management is not responsive most of the times unless subject is related to rent payment.
Replacement of mailbox key - no response.
Apartment has never looked the same as I was shown by broker. On first day I noticed ceiling cracks from leaking. I asked to repair it - no response.
Roaches, mice and bed bugs.
Dirty hall stairs
Broken lock. One time I was locked inside the building due to broken lock. I called management and super so many times. No response.
It is very hard to get management attention to your problem. Management responds quickly only when it is related to rent payment.

Advice to owner:

Communicate with your tenants.
It is not normal to answer question about alternative rent payment quickly and ignore all other emails and phone calls about tenant’s problem.
Clean stairs more often during summer.

Bad Landlord

Former Tenant

Pros:

It’s close to the subway station.

Cons:

Don’t fix anything unless he is forced legally or during merger emergency.
In order to get my lease renewal, I have to file a complaint to DHCR. We never have pest control.
The front door of the building is not working properly for long time.

Advice to owner:

Do your right things for the tenants!

Don’t rent here

Former Tenant

Pros:

The building itself is fine.

Cons:

The landlord never gave my roommate and I our security back DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC! We have not had any calls or emails returned since May 2020. The apartment was left completely spotless and in perfect condition. We are currently taking legal action.

Advice to owner:

Don’t keep money that doesn’t belong to you.
