Former tenant·1 month ago

He's a Super Creep

Pros

The location is wonderful and I loved the pre-war character of the space

Cons

Traffic on 2nd avenue is so incredibly loud, all day, every day, always. The live in super is creepy and inappropriate with women. Other women in the building had similar experiences so it is not a one off. I do not suggest living here as a solo female.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Covid response next to nothing.

Pros

LOCATION. Next to Trader Joe’s, fairway, target BBB. 20 mins from wholefoods.

Cons

Super is creepy. Stairs only get vacuumed every 2-3 months. Management only respond when there’s a maintenance issue, BUT, wont have someone fix straight away. In the time of Covid, no masks implemented in building. Cleaning of common areas minimal. Management unaware of what is happening in the building. No help re: rent reductions.
