Reviews

Former tenant·5 minutes ago

Building used to be nice, now too many short term sublets. Loud and dirty

Pros

The super is great

Cons

No building manager, illegal short term sublets, very loud

Advice to the owners

Get a security guard

Former tenant·8 months ago

Leaks, bugs, & shady management

Pros

Good location, seemingly renovated unit, nice part time door man. Very kind super.

Cons

Constant cockroaches. Dryer broke 1 week after move in, management refused to fix it or take money off my rent. The ceiling was damaged so every time it rained it leaked in multiple areas including directly over my bed. Windows aren’t sealed so snow and bugs come in from outside. Management held my security deposit for 2 months and only returned after threatening litigation.

Advice to the owners

I hope the state investigates their shady business practices
