Couldn’t have had a worse time!
Pros
Relatively new bathroom, good proximity to trains
Cons
Where to begin… extremely noisy, during summer expect to hear blaring music at all hours. Lots of drugs used openly on this street and specifically on this stoop. Many times had to step over passed out people while living here. Found large cockroaches that flew in my bed multiple times. Management didn’t help, they will ghost emails. Didn’t get security deposit back for months and took lawyer threats to get it back.
Advice to the owners
Follow the contract you signed to. Do better.
Nothing terrible to say
Pros
I forget his name (Elias?), but the man hired to keep clean works SO hard. Sometimes neighbors make the refuse room a little messy (and if management posted clearer guidelines for recycling and large item disposal, that would help), but this guy is ON it. The AC/heating units are nice, light is night, gym had a brief black mold problem (i know, gross), but it was addressed and it's really nice to have that in-building. Rarely a huge wait for washers/dryers. Elevator!
Cons
Washers/dryers can be finnicky. I've had mice 3x and they have called an exterminator, but I had to really badger them, and I do think that if they made clearer guidelines about food/trash disposal, there might be less of a problem (then again, it's NYC.) Also we were all getting charged for each other's electricity for awhile -- a huge mess that was never really acknowledged
Advice to the owners
Manage the recycling room better, and maybe be slightly quicker to respond to complaints.
