Great porperty location, but extremely noisy

Fantastic apt with fantastic staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean, great location, nice and trustworthy staff, quiet neighbors, good price/space for one person. Efficient resident portal
Cons:
The gym could be more fleshed out and Flatbush is so noisy, but the latter isn't really the apts fault. Could use more events that give out free stuff.
Advice to owner:
None! Fantastic service

Rent skyrocketed upon renewal
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff is helpful and friendly. Building is clean and in a good location. Repairs are usually done quickly. Was a great building when I first moved it.
Cons:
Upon lease renewal, they raised the rent 60%!! Despite being an excellent tenant, they would not negotiate. Raising someone’s rent by $1500 during a pandemic is unconscionable. As a result, several tenants were forced to move.

Management could stand to be more professional and more timely in their responses. It seems somewhat disorganized.

Hot water has been an issue for months, with a temporary boiler outside the building and hot water after being turned off with no notice once a week.

With the reopening of Barclays, the noise and traffic are at an all time high.

Lots of staff turnover in the last few months.

Elevator lights out.

I used to love living here, but it has really gone downhill
Former Tenant
Pros:
Sound proofing of the apartment is awesome! The views of Manhattan. Some of the staff is excellent.
Cons:
The lights in one of the elevators were not functional for months. There were dim temporary lights. This finally got fixed. The hot water goes out on average once per month. No warning.. I usually find out when I'm about to take a shower. There has been a temporary boiler parked out front for months. When the hot water does work, it is scalding hot. Management stopped wearing masks long before the rules changed in NY. People who live here are disgusting. They leave trash (not actually in bags) in the trash rooms, (there is a trash chute-super confused by this) when they actually used the chute, they don't close it... Weed dealers trying to sell products in the elevators.
Advice to owner:
If this continues, we are moving asap. It is awful to pay premium rent for this nonsense.

Former Tenant Review
Former Tenant
Pros:
Prime location- close to subways and restaurants, great views from higher floors, amenities, clean and quiet building, and friendly and responsive staff.
Cons:
Rent is overpriced, and management can be rude.

The windows are poorly made, so much cold air enters the unit in the winter and heat in the summer. The heat/AC doesn’t heat or cool the unit well and the electric bill triples when turned on. The windows also do not block out sound, and it gets very nosy.

The kitchen cabinets can’t store much or let alone hold heavy items such as small cans of beans, they are poorly made. The fridge is small and the shelves are not sturdy.

The floors dip and are poorly made, you can smell when someone is smoking and cooking.

The building is pet friendly, dogs have urinated in the elevators and in front of the building which leaves behind a strong urine odor. Dogs are running around without a leash in shared spaces including the lobby.

The doors in the lobby do not lock, and the concierge can be found sleeping which is a safety concern.

The amenities close early fob stops working at 10 pm, but amenities close at 11 pm.

Packages get mixed up

Not enough closet space and the closets are not sturdy.

Last-minute notice of any closures/shutdowns

Unit washer- uses steaming hot water that damages clothes.

Parking ASP is once a week but can be difficult to find a spot.
Advice to owner:
Amenities- longer hours possibly midnight closer or 24 hours access. Have an opt-in cost option for preferred amenities instead of flat-fee.

Great building with great staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is always clean and the maintenance people are always quick and attentive. The units are well built - I can never hear my neighbors and the appliances are decent quality. The floor to ceiling windows ensure that every unit has a great view. Also super close to trains and shopping nearby.
Cons:
None at the moment. I’d like to stay here long term, so hopefully the lease renewals don’t include major price hikes.
Advice to owner:
Keep being attentive to tenants and valuing their feedback.

Hidden fees for low-income tenants.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Staff is extremely responsive and friendly. Building clean and so far no sign of critters.
Cons:
There is a facilities fee that is added on to the rent and which is not optional. This provides access to the gym and some other common spaces. As someone who is living in this building under the affordable housing lottery, this monthly fee is a bit of a hardship, and it isn’t possible to opt out. I need a gym with a pool, but I can’t afford to join one because I have to pay for the gym in my building that I can’t use.
Advice to owner:
None at this time.
