    WINDOWS ARE EXPLODING
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The front desk staff, cleanliness, 24/7 gym, LOCATION!
    Cons:
    The management! My floor to ceiling window has been shattered and taped off going on six months with no end in sight. The LIU field lights face the building and don't go off until 10pm. The lounge areas and tech lounge is only available from 9am-10pm.
    Advice to owner:
    Learn to have some professionalism, empathy and respect. Responsiveness would be a plus as well.

    Great building to live in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Clean, doormen and maintenance team are great
    Cons:
    Building management isn’t the best. They offer amenities like free coffee and events but them skimp on the budget
    Over 1 year ago
    Great but expensive building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Pet friendly but there is a pet fee.
    Really nice staff.
    Beautiful views from the gym and roof deck.
    Cons:
    Extra charge for amenities.
    It's next to a football field so sometimes you hear a lot of loud noise.
    Advice to owner:
    Get rid of the pet fee!

    Amazing staff, very nice building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The staff is really nice and efficient (garbage disposal, deliveries management, building’s events, doormen). Amazing view from the common areas. Decent size for a 2-bedroom apartment in NYC, although on the pricier side. Great location, next to a lot of subway lines and 5 minutes away from beautiful Fort Greene Park.
    Cons:
    Not much, really. Shower pressure is a bit low. Hot water temperature could be a tad higher. The ventilation/AC/heating system makes weird rattling noises, but works.

    One of the first to move in!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    New, clean, big windows, nice kitchen. The best doormen in the city
    Cons:
    It is VERY expensive for what it is. Theres a big promise of spectacular amenities but they are not very accessible to use. There is also a mandatory charge for the amenities above the stated rent, whether or not you use them.
    Advice to owner:
    I wish you were more transparent and realistic with us about your choices with the property.
