Reviews

Former tenant·50 minutes ago

Was overall fine

Pros

Good location and relatively inexpensive

Cons

Trash was in basement and was loud

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Great apartments, lackluster common spaces

Pros

-The apartment that I moved into itself was highly renovated and very clean. -The building has very low rents and is rent stabilized

Cons

-The common spaces like hallways, while currently being redone, are somewhat dirty and are not in great shape. -Walk-up without in-building laundry, far from the nearest subway and very noisy in the units. -The management company has barely responded to my many calls. Subleasing with them has been a nightmare.
