Nice but expensive
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighbors are friendly and keep to themselves. Overall infrastructure very good.
Cons:
Very expensive for a small sized apartment. Water pressure is super bad and the renovation was clearly done in a cheap manner.

Must to Avoid
Former Tenant
Pros:
This is a great location. Most the neighbors are nice.
Cons:
The management lies constantly, either makes no repairs or makes shoddy ones and is unresponsive. The owners listed here are not correct--the building was sold to Japanese companies with no contact info. The management, North Bloom, LLC--really one girl-- the only place you have contact info for, is the worst ever. No accountability, they refuse to make repairs, won't respond to tenants, For what was once a wonderful building in a great location, they are ruining it. There are CONSTANT leaks and plumbing problems and management is trying to make tenants responsible for pipe leaks. Stay away from this mgt company and building unless you want big problems. It takes forever to get the dept of housing here and then they just issue fines. Throughout the building, there have been over 12 instances of leaking pipes, leaking AC units and broken pipes and those are just the ones that most tenants know about.
Advice to owner:
Stop squeezing for pennies. Hire someone competent to manage building.

Old building, new management sucks, lovely neighborhood
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighborhood is awesome. Some of the apartments finishings are nice.
Cons:
Apartment is small for the money. New property management sucks. We’re had a leak ongoing for years and the old management and new has dragged feet on fixing it and only patched it lightly not identifying the source. There is no effort from management to be accommodating. New management didn’t even respond about the leak for 3 weeks. Only once they started getting calls from HPD at my request did they start to address the issue. Which again has still not been fixed. When asked about compensation or rent reduction for this regular issue. They referred us to the lease that says we have to deal with it ourselves. We can’t fix the building ourselves and have been living with an HPD violation for years. I wish these companies treated their tenants like humans rather than gaslighting and money grubbing.
Advice to owner:
Stop focusing solely on money and start providing good housing for your residents

Quite happy living here
Former Tenant

Hallways are cleaned regularly, no pest problems, quiet for the most part. The garbage area was initially not maintained well but it’s better now.
Cons:
Management is quite unresponsive to emails. Apartments are small, but knew this moving in.
Advice to owner:
Respond to emails right away!

New Owners Kicked Everyone Out
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rudd took over a few years ago over the winter holidays, and when people were out put notices under our doors that no leases would be renewed- even those coming up in less than a month. Their plans were to gut renovate the place, and to do so they had to clear all the residents out- many of whom had made their homes there for decades. The resulting construction and kicking out of tenants was an absolute nightmare. Construction was handled poorly, corners were cut with quality, and I was lucky to get out when I did.
Cons:
To be fair, the building wasn’t much before they renovated it, and I have no idea what it looked like afterwards.
Advice to owner:
Maybe don’t forcefully displace people from their homes .
