Unit 11C Pros: The building staff are super friendly and try their best, but management is horrible! Cons: Management is horrible! Building had roach infestation and people smoking cigarettes despite it being a non smoking building and management was unable to address either problem. Advice to landlord: Pest control; enforce non-smoking

Pros: Lovely apartment design, with huge windows and hidden HVAC units. Convenient subway access, grocery store across the street. Most of the staff are kind and helpful. Cons: Some major security/safety concerns with tenants themselves as well as activity on Hoyt Street. There is a lot of questionable traffic in and out of the building. Needs to pay for real security in the lobby, but building management is too cheap to even properly staff the package room so the doormen can focus on the lobby doors. A pervasive problem with smoking. Shared ventilation means that you smell and hear everything from your neighbors. Windows are filthy and have never been cleaned. There aren't enough elevators for a 26 story building, and one or two always seem to be down. Water system is incredibly faulty and goes down every few months. There are many other comparably priced buildings in the neighborhood with properly staffed lobbies, better property upkeep, and significantly nicer amenities. Advice to landlord: Invest in more lobby staff to keep this building safer, instead of just creating bandaids that put the burden on tenants.

Pros: Super convenient to the subways and transit. The doormen, porters and staff are all very nice and attentive Cons: The building has some residents that continue to cause issues, like smoking inside, and "guests" of some apartments tend to loiter in the lobby which can be annoying

Pros: Staff here is amazing. Everyone from the front desk to maintenance is super friendly. The building itself is really nice and decently maintained. Cons: Crackheads EVERYWHERE. Low income housing comes with drug dealers (who have been raided), arrests, crack heads roaming stairways and halls Advice to landlord: Figure out how you can get rid of those who bring the quality of life down for everyone else

Pros: The front desk staff are excellent. The apartment unit itself is spacious. Washer/dryer and dishwasher in unit. There is a lot of common space. Cons: Not effective at responding to complaints about roaches. The a/c in the gym is always broken in the summer. This is particular to my unit, but the neighbors are extremely loud, smoke indoors, and it seems nothing can be done about it. Advice to landlord: Fix the gym AC, do more regular pest prevention.
