Pretty units but poorly maintained
Pros
A few of the units are huge and have great, spacious layouts that are hard to find anywhere else in nyc for the same price. I haven’t really had much of a problem with management. They seem rude at first but you’ll quickly realize that’s just how they talk. Maintenance requests get ignored at first but once you follow up, they will address it. Soundproofing between the units is fine, but you can hear everything going on in the hallway and everyone in the hallway can hear you.
Cons
1. Moved out because I just couldn’t deal with the amount of bugs I was getting. I’m extremely clean and still managed to find cockroaches on my bed, clothes, and in my dishwasher several times. And this is with mgmt already having an exterminator come every few weeks, AND with me using Advion and Gentrol regularly, setting traps, sealing all my food, taking out trash daily, etc. I probably spent hundreds of dollars on pest control products and countless hours doing whatever I could to get it under control only for nothing to work. 2. Hot water in the shower will shut off. I don't know if there's a built-in timer somewhere or what but it stops exactly at the 20 min mark every single time. 3. Windows aren’t properly sealed so you will get a lot of water inside your apartment when it rains. Be prepared to have towels lined up.
Advice to the owners
The units are beautiful so this really could be a great place to live if only the building was better maintained (and all the gaps in the windows/doors/walls/everywhere were sealed correctly)
Nice facade of a apt complex
Pros
the design of my apartment
Cons
Management's inability to fix half of the broken washer and dryers. Cockroaches in the basement. Mold in the shower chaulk. Hot water does not last. Hot water in the tub comes out brown-tinted. Noise levels. Package theft.
