Great building, horrible maintenance
Pros
Apartments are beautiful and spacious. Neighbors are very nice and friendly.
Cons
Building maintenance is very poor and management is unresponsive. The basement is very dirty and has many roaches. Unfortunately, the super's assistant is the only one who manages the trash, and there's just too much for one person to do. Many people on upper floors have leaks but the management refuses to actually do proper roof maintenance.
Avoid at all cost this building
Pros
Beautiful layout, rent stabilized, nice neighbors, tree lined streets, close to train
Cons
We were 'evicted' from apartment 3 months after we ended our lease, gave keys back to super, cleaned apartment, though we sent notice with last rent check,(they refused to give their proper address for a certified 30 day notice to leave at end of lease). They deemed us a new lease without our signatures and we were in court several times to fight it. Was dismissed, but in court, 1/2 the room was there for 34th ave realty, they weren't cashing people's checks or were just all around sheisters...They came after us again and got dismissed again permanently, then sold the debt to collectors and we were harassed until that finally ended. Elevator was broken alot. They are evil.
Advice to the owners
They wouldn't take any advice, why bother with a suggestion.
