    Large building, not bad
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great spacious apartments
    Cons:
    Trash management is often a problem—there are rats and other pests in the basement. Packages get stolen.
    Advice to owner:
    Give the maintenance staff more resources.

    Could so easily be a nice place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Spacious apts
    Close to park
    Some apts have beautiful views
    Cons:
    Management / maintenance is abysmal. Far and away the worst I’ve experienced at any apt I’ve lived at in NY. You will wait months for service requests, and when issues are addressed, they are done so as cheaply and quickly as possible. Often you have to call them back three or four times to fix the same thing, before you end up doing it yourself. Heat and water issues are pretty much constant. Roaches as well. The frustrating thing is that with even a minimal degree of wanting to provide a nice place to live for its tenants, it could be a really pleasant place. Unless it gets new ownership / management, however, it should be a hard pass for any prospective renters. You should consider paying significantly more elsewhere for a similar apartment with different management.
    Advice to owner:
    Hire more facilities staff
    Clean up laundry rooms
    Stop using only the very cheapest materials for everything
    Train maintenance staff to fix things
