Cozy with amenities but pricey
Pros
Laundry in basement + free Big furnished basement, back yard, and roof for entertaining Newer appliances Brick interior
Cons
- Common areas not updated or maintained - furniture in them is from buildings previous ownership that left it behind in 2019 and hasn't been touched since. - Property ownership has a loophole to not adhere to annual market rent raises, so they tried to raise our rent $900/month each renewal cycle and we had to fight tooth and nail to get it lowered. In the end, management called saying they were refinancing the building and had to prove to the bank that they were earning at least 4k from each apartment & did a 'one month free' as the only compromise. Ownership is greedy and truly does not care about the tenants, only that they pay astronomical increases each year.
Advice to the owners
Maintain common areas, most furniture is falling apart, laundry machines frequently broken or smoking, roof furniture old and faded. And for the love of god stop raising the rent to prices way beyond market rate and enabling the further gentrification of this neighborhood.
decent but not worth the price
Pros
- near the L train and the park - next to grocery store - lovely neighbors who have lived there long twe
Cons
- only 1 washer/dryer in basement and it’s either always full or broken - garbage area was constantly full - apartments don’t receive much light - narrow and steep stairwells make carrying items up and down stairs difficult - too expensive for what it is… 2 decent sized bedrooms on either side connected by a hallway with no windows serving as a super narrow living room/kitchen - management is slow to respond and honestly condescending at times
Advice to the owners
