Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Great building, very bad management

Pros

Gorgeous building in a great neighborhood very conveniently located across the street from 1/2/3 train. Lovely lobby. Superintendent is very handy and helpful.

Cons

Building management is very bad. They raise the rent upwards of 10% every year. They take days to respond or don’t respond at all. There have been multiple package thieves and management does nothing other than say “you should have sent it to a packages pickup store”

Advice to the owners

Respond to tenants when they reach out. Stop raising the rent 10-30% each year.
