Decent building; unfriendly neighbors
Pros
Rent stabilized. Rental office in building. Super responsive. Elevator always works. Consistent monthly visits from exterminator.
Cons
The neighborhood is a food desert. No laundry in building. Neighbors are not nice, and won’t hold the elevator/front door for you. Allegedly, only 1 BDR apartments in building; seems like they play favorites and don’t disclose other available units to current tenants. They are very cheap with the heat in the winter, and when you call to complain they blame it on the system but don’t do anything about it. 311 doesn’t help.
Not great, but decent for the money
Pros
Honestly, mostly the price. Stabilized 1-bed was $1400. Also, being next to the train is really nice.
Cons
Common could be cleaned better. The super cleans the hallways, but rarely the stairs, and people are always leaving trash in the building. If your unit faces Nostrand Av, expect a lot of noise. If you're on a high floor, expect temps of 75-78 in the winter
