Reviews

Former tenant·15 minutes ago

For a rent stabilized unit, it’s pretty good

Pros

Prewar structure, the super is great, the price for a one bed, the street, the location

Cons

The lack of response from management on any issue. And having to pay rent via check in the mail— it’s 2025, can we please get with the times?

Advice to the owners

Get a digital rent paying system, and reply to your tenants calls/emails

Pros

Location right by the subway and Nostrand Ave. Elevator.

Cons

Loud and inconsiderate neighbors. Trash in hallways, lobby, elevator regularly. Super does not speak conversational English and has sometimes taken more than a day to respond. Package theft on multiple occasions. Neighbors have reported electrical and other maintenance issues going unaddressed for months.

Advice to the owners

Clean up a bit and crack down on noise.
