Management sucks and neighborhood sucks
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building is relatively new and the neighbors in the building are for the most part nice and quiet.
The super is pretty amazing
The super is pretty amazing
Cons:
We have an F for efficiency rating and the heating/AC units in most if the apartments don't work. Management took over 1 year to take care of 1 of the non working AC units and never addressed the other. Woth the inefficiencies my con Edison bill was literally $1000/months. Outrageous.
There's always homeless people outside shooting up and they get into the building constantly. We even saw one pick the locks to the building and steal out package (we asked the super to see what happened to out stolen package)... guess what nothing was done about it. It's super unsafe because who knows what else they could do roaming the building like that.

Cons:
High utilities
Ice maker on refrigerator never fixed for 5 years because part couldn’t be ordered
Shower in secondary bathroom had pipes that were old and made a screeching/shaking noise weekly
Pipes loud; can hear them and a knocking noise in the bathroom
Can hear upstairs neighbors
Terrible management
Cheap finishes (ex. Door handles often loosen)
There are many rehab facilities in the neighborhood so there are a lot of people suffering from addiction or using who hang out by the 116 6 stop or outside the building
New roommates name never added to the lease because management was so unresponsive for 2.5 years

Advice to owner:
Fire everyone in the management office and start over. They’re unbelievably unorganized, unresponsive and incompetent.
