Decent, nothing special
Former Tenant
Pros:
I lived here for 10 years. The super was good and did his best to attend to issues quickly. The price was good and the space was decent. Location is excellent. Never had pest issues.
Cons:
Radiators were never working properly. There was sometimes noise from neighbors and downstairs. The hallways were often dirty with trash and there would sometimes be people loitering in the lobby. Packages were not very secure.
Advice to owner:
Invest in taking better care of the common spaces

Short time living experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location of this building is great, as it is only a 5-minute walk to the Macy Avenue station (serving both Line M and J) and is located in a safe area. Downtown Williamsburg is also just a 10-minute walk away.
Cons:
The garbage operation in the center of the building can be noisy early in the morning and cockroaches have been reported. Additionally, while the central heating is usually warm, it may not be sufficient in some rooms during the night.
Advice to owner:
More frequent pest control and better central heating in some rooms are needed.

Don’t expect much… front door has been busted for months.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is good.
Cons:
Nobody bothered to smooth out the caulk in the bathroom, so there are beads and huge gaps that foster black mold.
Door buzzer has been broken for months, maybe over a year.
Landlord wants to demand higher rent now while rent stabilization has been removed, yet won’t even fix the building.

Advice to owner:
Fix the door buzzer so we don’t have to run up and down for deliveries and guests!

Apartment is alright but building falling a part and mgmt unresponsive
Former Tenant
Pros:
I don't have any major issues with my apartment - only a couple small pests. Carlos the maintenance guys is very nice and helpful. My unit is rent stabilized so the rent is reasonable and will not increase drastically each year.
Cons:
Building is kind of gross and falling apart. Parts of the ceiling are falling or leaking. I get packages stolen quite a bit. People smoke in the staircase a ton. There's also guys that just hang out in the staircase often. Management is completely unresponsive. I have reached out to them about packages, the smoking, people loitering in the staircase and they will not respond at all.
Advice to owner:
Respond to your tenants and actually do something. Take better care of your buildings.
