new building but not taken care of
Pros
new appliances. lots of natural light, huge windows. central A/C. bathtub and kitchen sink were extra deep. electric stove and built in microwave. rooftop access. pet friendly.
Cons
studio apartments are ridiculously small and overpriced. fridge started leaking within first month of living there. video intercom stopped working and no one was able to fix it. heat fixture in bathroom broke and almost started a fire. A/C had to be repaired multiple times. Had to replace the smoke detectors multiple times. Didn't have hot water for over 1 month, department of health had to come and do an inspection. after that, water was scalding hot for next 6 months. non-responsive management. super changed twice in the year I was there. garbage management is horrendous and department of sanitation was writing tickets every week. blood and feces on staircases/hallway walls for weeks on end. packages stolen constantly. laundry machines were never installed on the 4th floor even though it was advertised as having laundry on every floor. I would avoid at all costs.
I like living here!
Pros
newly renovated, monthly exterminator, no pests, central air and heat, good water pressure, incredible water heat, mail pretty secure, super and building manager are very nice!
Cons
lots of front door malfunctions, washers and dryers only on 2 floors instead of promised all. TOLIET SEAT IS CHEAP AND BREAKS AFTER A FEW MONTHS
Advice to the owners
hire a super that is a handyman. send correctly updated billing statements. listen to the tenants.
