★★★★★Oct 2025

“Pros: Took me a while to think of but... -Rent price is negotiable Cons: -Management took about 6 weeks to reply to an email (this is not an exaggeration). They do not care if you have an urgent issue. Good luck getting a response. -The noise is truly unlivable. The windows are so old and let in every bit of noise from the bar across the street (Hair of the Dog) and then cars come at night and blast music on the intersection of Orchard and Stanton. There are typically hundreds of people out there. You can hear everything. Do not live here if you want to sleep again. This is even for apts on higher floors of the building. -The broker is very confusing on purpose. Don't let it fool you. Ask the questions you need (as many times as you need) to get the information you're looking for. -I used my heat and AC almost never, but the utility cost was often between $150-250 per month (single person, living in a very small apartment) -Laundry machines stopped working for 2 months. No communication to tenants about this or any urgency to fix -Hallways are very smelly Advice to landlord: Respond to your tenants. Double paned windows. Be less shady.”

“Unit 1A Pros: I liked the laundry in building, no pest problems which was nice living next to a restaurant... Cons: Layout of apt was weird and very cavey, laundry machines lowkey robbed me 50% of the time, and the noise from orchard st. was oh my god!! people would park outside, open all their doors, blast music as loud as they could, I would frequently leave my apt in the middle of the night in pajamas to try and beg ppl to go park somewhere else! not to mention music from hair of the dog all day every day all summer, astonishing I made it through a full year here... Wouldn't ever live here again, but it could've been worse. Advice to landlord: refund ppl who get robbed by the laundry machine? Also respond to their emails.”

“Pros: Everyone is very friendly and the whole building is very close to the best clubs in NYC. Street noise is pretty loud on weekends if your window is facing Allen st, but our unit got amazing light. Rooftop view is surprisingly stunning! In building washer/dryer is very convenient, and management added ACs for the summer and takes them out for the winter. Cons: Common space doesn’t have any windows and the management can be very unresponsive”

“Pros: The location is perfect. There is great subway access, so much life in the neighbourhood and so many other great spots in walking distance. Cons: It’s incredibly noisy during the weekend. A lot of obnoxious drunk people flock the streets. The management was really disorganized and communicating for any kind of issue was always confusing. Advice to landlord: It would help if you made the process to communicate about issues much more clear and kept tenants up to date when there are changes of any kind, either in the building or in the management roles.”
