Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Great Starter Apartment Building

Pros

Rent stablized! and laundry inside the building. The rooftop is also very lovely. The doorman team is amazing and kind.

Cons

The construction and noise of the 7 definitely a killer

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Great building and staff but rigid & money-minded landlord

Pros

Great location with connectivity with many transit lines within walking distance Doorman and maintenance teams are friendly and responsive Small studio but with good layout + energy efficient central AC & heat + balcony

Cons

Tried to sublet / transfer my lease but landlord made it difficult and tried to take as much money off tenants as they can. The building is rent-stabilized but landlord tried to unstabilize and lease out my unit at a ridiculously high "market" rate. Location is very convenient to get around, but may lack a neighborhood vibe.
