If you can avoid it, do so
Former Tenant
Pros:
Big apartments with lots of natural light. The appliances are full-sized and generally in working condition
Cons:
The elevator is ALWAYS broken. There's a good chance you're going to get stuck in there... Also ever since we got new management in Jan 2024 there has been a seriously disgusting fly issue in the building. No matter how high up you are, the flies come in from the basement through the stairs and elevators and it is so unsanitary. The building is quite prone to leaks when there are heavy rains... had 2 separate recurring leaks in my own apartment and the lobby had a huge one as well. There is also a lot of theft in the building because of the clear lobby floor-to-ceiling glass paneling and terrible placement of the mailbox.
Advice to owner:
Start thinking about your tenants for once please!

Big apartments, horrible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartments themselves are in pretty good condition. There’s always going to be something wrong with an nyc apartment, but as far as I know no pests, no major leaks, etc. the super and his assistant are always on top of everything and will come to help at any hour
Cons:
Management is totally useless. Impossible to reach them by phone and they take months to answer emails in what seems like them trying to have the upper hand in any matter. Elevator breaks often and I’ve already seen 5 people get stuck in there with the fire dept having to come to take them out in the year I’ve lived here. Roof access is restricted and doesn’t really have any furniture in comparison to neighboring buildings.
Advice to owner:
Do something about the elevator and resolve issues more quickly!!!

Good Place, with hidden costs
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building was maintained well, and the tenants in the building mostly kept to themselves. The views from the roof were spectacular, and you could usually find a seat up there whenever you wanted. Close to Key Foods, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Cons:
The CTAC AC/Heating units were substandard, and on were barely able to keep up with the summer heat. ConEd bills would run in the +$300 range during the summer, and in the winter, temps could drop to the 50s even with the units running full time. You would assume at the price you pay for these apartments, the AC would at least work. The location of this build is pretty far from the train as well, but if you work from home this isn't a concern.
Advice to owner:
Instead of rotating the CTAC units, they should be entirely replaced with modern machines that can operate more efficiently.
