Village Dwellings Inc

Elevator, In unit W/D, dishwasher. All that you really need. Great location.

Had a mouse and several cockroaches over the year, but nothing crazy. Trash chute was a bit small.

Cheap for the area, next to bus and citibike

Right above a restaurant could be a problem with roach sometimes

Good location and laundry

Rodents, roaches, rarely cleaned, ongoing disruptions from long-term construction (including limited sunlight), selectively responsive management that does less than the bare minimum

Put in a little effort for all the money being thrown at you, abide by laws regarding security deposits and lease renewals

Neighbors are nice. The neighborhood is great.

The trash is always a wreck and causes rats. the management company is unresponsive and has tried to bully tenants out of units so they can increase rent. the super doesn’t respond to messages and has to be tracked down in person. I have heard other stories of the management companies harassment and abusive behavior. Roaches all over, asked for a pest control person to come via super and never heard, Had to call one myself. Updates have not been made to the units in years, appliances barely work, things are cheaply made and fall apart.

Be a better human.

The neighbors in this building are really cool. I have meet some lovely people. The neighborhood is nice.

The management company is a joke. Not only is the owner, Giro, very mean, but he does not respond to anything, ever. I also got 4-5 calls from their office stating I was behind on rent and living with a pet they didn't know about. I was on a deal with free months and disclosed the pet, both were on the lease. I dont know why they couldnt seem to find it or werent organized, but I had to explain this so many times. The super never responds to messages. I have had to track him down in person to get answers before and tried to gaslight me into telling me I'm using things the wrong way (i am not). I have had them lose paperwork in the past (for example, my literal lease), misplace checks and claim they "never got emails." The bug problem here is astounding, I have killed so many pests and when I ask management for help they ignore me.

Be responsive and be more organized.

Nice place generally, well managed, and great location

At least a few mice live here, too, and the buses on Broadway are surprisingly loud if your bedroom faces that direction—you know that beeping they do when they stop? It’s louder than you think and continues all night, and it will keep you awake even from 4 or 5 flights up.

Improve the windows facing broadway for soundproofing; check into a likely infestation of mice in one or more apartment’s

The apartments in the back are quiet and light

- There is a lot of crime in the building such as stolen deliveries and the landlord refuses to take any measures such as blinding the front doors or installing cameras.

- Make this a safe building

Location, that's about it.

First off, you will never get an email response back. I emailed them multiple times over the course of my time in the building and didn't hear from the landlord once until he tried to raise my rent by $900. The walls are paper thin, you can hear whole conversations.

Respond to emails?

Location location location

Old, falling apart, never even met the super after living there for two years, took a long time to resolve issues

Location, unit size, rent

Super is lazy abs terrible Property manager is rude and rarely helpful Heat and hot water issues

Hire a better more responsive super, find a less rude property manager and fix the heat and hot water

Quite safe and good air

They don’t clean

Clean your building!
