Pros: The price is reasonable for how new the building is an the amenities, new updated appliances, dishwasher, decent sized bedrooms, rent stabilized Cons: Common areas aren’t always clean/well respected by other tenants. There always seems to be a washer/dryer out of service, the gym can get dirty, the roof while large does not seem to have been updated/cleaned since the building opened.

Pros: Great value for the price. I'm in a 3 BR / 2 BA and pay about $1,600 for the largest bedroom, which has its own en suite. I'm happy with the amenities (in-building gym, lounge, and rooftop) and the fact that our apartment is very well insulated. The apartment generally stays around 68-72º, even in the winter, and we don't have to turn on the heat (which is electric; split units in the living room and each bedroom) unless it's under 30º outside. Responsive management and pest control; we have had very few issues with pests. Cons: - Package theft is pretty rampant; often, delivery people leave parcels in the non-secure lobby area, and there are definitely some porch pirates who live here. - The area, while certainly gentrifying, still leaves something to be desired; the Myrtle-Broadway station is about a 7-minute walk away, and while that's great, it's definitely a rather cursed area with music blaring during the day and questionable characters hanging out. I've never felt endangered, but it's kind of grimy and unpleasant. - Laundry room can be hit-or-miss, with unreliable machines that don't properly wash or dry your clothes. Pretty annoying, but at least I don't have to go to a laundromat. Advice to landlord: Continue being responsive! Please make sure that the gym is kept stocked with wipes (the wipe station is frequently empty) and that the laundry machines are all working properly.

Pros: rent stabilized, location, decent gym, laundry in building. Cons: Management is strict and will fine you for using the amentities if you break any of their strict rules. Hardly anyone uses the amentities such as the roof top because it is run down and management strictness. Packages get stolen from the lobby on a weekly if not daily basis from trespassers because packages do not get put in the locked mail room. Very high energy bill for heating, cooling, hot water and electricity (all utilities electric) (2bdr=$300/mon avg). Many units with common rooms with no direct day light, common for NYC but don't underestimate this. Wall soundproofing not amazing, you will hear neighbours music or move in beside an entitled person who thinks bushwick should be quiet and complain about your noise, other neighbours are chill and get it (you live your life and let them live theirs...to Bushwick standards, if you want quiet maybe don't move to NYC). Only elevator will break down for a week a few times a year. There seems to be people who think this is a quiet building or want it to be a quiet building, these are mostly gentrifiers who shouldn't be living here in the first place, this is a noisy neighbourhood, and soundproofing is such that reasonable noise from your unit could disrupt someone else who thinks it should be silence after 11pm. Advice to landlord: Package theft is atrocious, super should put packages in mail room throughout the day, it's borderline negligent in terms of duty to secure the premises. Energy bills are insane, there must be something wrong with the building this is beyond user consumption habits, this is a relatively new building built to better code, owners should investigate. Chill out with the draconian enforcement of amenities, focus on securing the building from trespassers instead, this is not a retirement home. Enforce trash/recylcing rules more (people who leave trash bags in refuse room without using trash chute). Replace roof top furniture. Failure to heed this advice and tenants might start to wonder if you are engaging in a pattern of repeated harassment designed to increase unit turnover so you can escalate rents faster.

Pros: The apartments have decent layouts. The amenities are nice and the rooftop is great especially for the price. The super would respond to work tickets pretty quickly and was overall a quality guy. Water pressure was great as well. Cons: Being that this is Bushwick, there's no shortage of very young people, Air Bnb renters, criminals and full blown parties that come in and out of this building on a regular basis. This isn't the fault of management, but they're ABSOLUTELY aware of the issues and have done nothing about it for the 4 years I lived in the building. There's been constant theft in the package room from outsiders. The camera catches it, photos are posted by the mailboxes, and that's it. What would solve this? A DOORMAN. This has been suggested, requested, and demanded many times by myself and plenty of other tenants. But this company is too cheap for that. The company posts laughable flyers in the elevators saying "no parties on the roof" I can't even count how many parties I've seen on the roof comprised of one person with an Air Bnb in the building plus 20 guests. Dog shit on the roof. Broken bottles, hammocks, planters, lounge chairs. Vomit in the elevator and in the lobby. Do you think a flyer is gonna prevent that?! Advice to landlord: You cannot justify renting any units at $3k and above in this building without a doorman. It's a slap in the face to the responsible tenants who follow the rules. The building has become a free for all and is gaining a reputation as such.
