DON'T PLEASE DON'T!
Former Tenant
Pros:
If you live here everything will be close. The F/M/4/3/6/D/Q subway lines are walking distance (10-15 min) from this apt but I don't think that's worth it.
Cons:
Where do I start? I have been living here since Sept 2023 and since we got here we have had a bedbug problem which they haven't fixed and they told us through the phone they don't have nay money to fix our problems. We didn't had heat the majority of winter and their only excuse was that they were trying to fix it. There's someone in the building that collects trash and the whole hall is full of bags with "recycle". Our neighbor hasn't had a working fridge for months and they haven't fix it. Overall, it's a bad management that doesn't want to fix the broken things in the apts. Since we moved in, we see tenants move out every month or every two months and we understand why. Please don't move here.

Good but not great
Former Tenant
Pros:
I love the neighborhood and my unit. It is recently renovated to ensure that it can no longer be rent stabalized. Cleaners are prompt when a call is made for poop in the hallway or vestibule.
Cons:
Winter brings the rats and cockroaches. We have learned how to manage and keep it under control for next year but it’s a bad bad problem. The landlord left the front door without a lock for quite a while which meant someone lived in our halls and pooped everywhere. This happened for a few months. Currently, this building is experiencing a lot of vacancies because rent is going from 2300-3300. This is due to “COVID discounts” being removed but we all knew it would be short lived.
