Beautiful apartments but awful management
Pros
Absolutely love the interior design. Beautiful brick, and wooden walls with barn-style doors. Huge windows with lots of sunlight, and clever storage spaces built in. Most units have dishwasher and nice appliances.
Cons
The management of this building is extremely high turn over - I’ve seen 3 companies in 3 years. Within the last year the place has become rat infested, frequently covered in trash, and falling apart. As of March 1 2023 the building has had a full vacate order due to the facade crumbling off the front of the building. During said vacate order, the built was left unsecured and was burglarized. Other issues include extremely slow-to-heat water (I typically have to give shower 10 min to warm up). FDNY declared the boiler “disgusting” and it frequently gets shut down for repairs. The mail room has frequent package thieves. The back door that leads to recycling area / alleyway has NEVER been able to shut in the several years I’ve lived here. Hence, rat infestation. The units are very small. 1 beds are maximum 300 sq ft and seem to be studios that they stuck flex walls in. Some of the 2 beds’ smaller rooms are the size of literally just a bed. It is uncomfortable having guests over as it immediately feels cramped.
Advice to the owners
REPAIR YOUR BUILDING, KEEP IT CLEAN, AND SECURE YOUR ENTRANCES.
Terrible building management
Pros
good location. mix of different neighbors while i was living here, some were tenants that had probably been living in the building for years and others were younger and recently moved to new york.
Cons
building was terribly managed and units are generally pretty small. front facade of building was falling apart when i was living here and everyone had to be evacuated. inspectors came in and found so many other violations that delayed our ability to come back into the building. very bad pest problems. trash room was terribly managed.
Advice to the owners
take better care of the building
