BAD BUILDING - DO NOT MOVE
Former Tenant
Pros:
Has an elevator and laundry
Cons:
Landlord and building management is HORRIBLE - takes forever to cash checks, landlord has also repeatedly let people into the apartment without informing me prior which is quite literally against the law, he takes no accountability and doesn't change his actions. Do not recommend moving here at all

Good place to live could be better maintained
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great value, great location very quiet. Management was responsive if not always the most helpful
Cons:
Management company was very responsive to small issues…ie. Broken appliances, water pressure etc but less so on larger issues. We had a problem with a leaky roof that was never fixed. Overall good experience and our security deposit was promptly returned when we left.

Beware of Second Floor
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doorman, laundry in building, & landlord office is on site which is convenient for emergencies like leaks or plumbing issues. The lobby is nice and well maintained.
Cons:
The second floor is completely unrenovated apartments (fluorescent lights, dirty, dated, etc.), not worth the high rent price and building amenities. Lower floors hear the noise from the hookah lounge next door every night.
Advice to owner:
Renovate the second floor to match the rest of the building in order to justify the price you charge in rent.

Great place overall
Former Tenant
Pros:
Condo so each unit is independently managed. The door man is great and handles our trash. The building is clean and well run, not perfect but no complaints
Cons:
They turn off the water pretty often to do maintenance on the water tank. The dryers in the basement don’t work well

Great apartment, for a price
Former Tenant
Pros:
responsive management, clean apartment, amazing neighborhood. a full half of a room dedicated to storage which is awesome, the best oven ive ever had in my life
Cons:
the two upstairs rooms are barely rooms. (the one with bookshelves is a study so no heat and no ac), and in the other you can hear everything on both sides (no privacy). fee is like extremely expensive, but you knew that - so for two of the three people ur paying a luxury apartment level price for barely a room but an amazing apartment overall.
Advice to owner:
Not much they can do - except add heat to that study they call the third bedroom!
