Reviews

Former tenant·10 minutes ago

Lots of problems

Pros

Rent stabilized units

Cons

Horrible pest management. Years ago when there were several bed bug cases they hired the worst possible pest control company. Heat went out in the winter for weeks at a time. You can hear rats running through the walls. Super is incredibly unresponsive. Garbage area is often overflowing. Packages always stolen. Hallways are not kept clean.

The owners are terrible

Pros

My apartment was spacious - heat was ample and the water pressure was good

Cons

Management did not reply to complaints - we had several litigations. The elevator broke down frequently and would not be repaired for weeks. There were tenants that created huge issues and the owners did nothing about it
