Reviews

Former tenant·10 months ago

Ugly on the outside and inside

Pros

In walking distance of many shops

Cons

Never turn on the heat, never fix things, they'll take months to fix something, never clean until 2 days later, broken window, neighbors steal packages, will take months to come look at something that's been broken and will not fix it, roach and rat problems

Advice to the owners

Do better

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Affordable building

Pros

Rent stabilized apartments, with low key but pretty efficient management.

Cons

No laundry in building. Communication with the management could be better as they don't always respond to claims or questions unless it is an urgent matter.

Advice to the owners

Having laundry in house would be very appealing for tenants. Management responsiveness to calls or questions from tenants should improve too.
