You're on your own
Former Tenant
Pros:
24hr security (they do occasionally try to take that away but we have fought back), sound muffling windows.
Cons:
Elevators are constantly breaking with tenants getting trapped inside, laundry room is unsanitary, equipment is damaged and out of date, they're overcharging for laundry. "Amenities" are laughable, gym is falling apart and has harmed tenants, it is also unsanitary. The rooftop is dangerous and outdated, management has essentially told us we aren't supposed to be up there even though there is a rec room and tables etc on the roof. Rec room is also in decay. Management is unresponsive to tenants complaints, they often just ignore emails from tenants and even when we organize as a group to collectively demand changes, they refuse to acknowledge. Rent is raised every year and no significant changes are made to improve the quality of life.
Advice to owner:
Take care of your building and your tenants, stop raising the rent without improving the quality of life.

Cons:
In building laundry is not great/pretty unreliable. Bedrooms could be bigger.

Slow response from building management, washer/ dryers issues from time to time. Train is very close to building can cause noise If your windows are open. Rent price increased a lot post covid deals

Advice to owner:
Hire more staff to support the super
Get new, working, updated laundry machines
Clear out bike storage
Get new gym equipment
Figure out a better ventilation system or better maintain the current one
Be more responsive to tenants

Nice for bushwick!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Central air conditioning and heating
Front desk personnel are super nice
Unlike most of NYC and bushwick I have had zero rat, cockroach, or bug problems
Small basic gym and laundry in building
Rooftop is really nice during summer
Building kept clean
Option to pay for a parking spot in the back of the building
Kai management was slow to respond BUT this was during the first few months of COVID, I’m sure a very high traffic time for them. They were also very nice and listened to our concerns and thoughts!
