All 10 tenant reviews.

“Pros: The building is cool, neighbors are nice, neighborhood is great Cons: Mice, roaches, heating cost hundreds of dollars and sometimes does not work. Was left without water for 5 days once because management didn’t answer . When I left everything was covered in a layer of dirt and mold. Advice to landlord: Fix the over all issues before raising rent”

“Pros: Space is apartment is great Cons: Poor management, not responsive about issues. noise from park is constant at night. Advice to landlord: More responsive on management issues”

“Pros: The super is sooo helpful The water pressure is good Good pest control Easy access to train Rooftop And allow pets Cons: Neighbors are predominantly privileged annoying unaware young 20s. They trash the place always throw parties and just generally not respectful to the place they live in. In some units, not all, the heat is almost nonexistent. Your electric bill will be 600$ and more to adequately heat your apartment beware. The owner and management are the worst types of landlords. They don’t give a shit about you. Advice to landlord: Be better people. You don’t have to be that greedy.”

“Pros: Lofted ceilings provide open space Our unit had a washer dryer Building super was quick to respond via text Cons: Heating and electricity was terrible. All heat runs on electricity which causes the ConEd bill to skyrocket. The windows let in so much draft in the winter it’s almost unbearable without a portable heater. Summers weren’t as bad after buying my own window AC unit. Walls can be thin too if you have noises neighbors”

“Unit 313 Pros: Proactive with extermination Building is clean Cons: Take up to a week to respond even with emergencies Building has rat infestation Falsely advertised having a working elevator Heater is broken and causes huge surcharge in electric bill Major package theft problem, claims to have security cameras but they don’t work Expensive to do laundry and half the time the washers/dryers don’t work”

“Pros: size, location, appliances are all good. high ceilings Cons: in my bedroom, the area around my windows and the ceiling is consistently wet, sometimes to where the ceiling drips on the bed/furniture. this is a problem in itself (which management did not fix when notified), but leads to the hazardous problem of mold. the high ceilings make it impossible to clean, and mold seems to be a consistent problem in the building Advice to landlord: get new windows”

“Unit 312 Pros: - Huge Space, looks great on instagram - In unit W/D that works well - Convenient subway access - Free bike storage - Massive roof Cons: - Very expensive utilities for our 3BR. ~300 / month - No noise insulation when dividing a larger loft with fake walls - Temperature not consistent - very cold and hot with the seasons - Many pest issues throughout the building (did not affect us) - Lots of package theft when we lived there Advice to landlord: - Needs a new package system - Pest control needs work”

“Pros: there are a few open lofts left which have not been turned into sad 3 bedroom units Cons: very negligent management. moved in and there was literal shit plastered all over the bathroom, which i had to clean myself. hot water didn't work on move in during winter and they dragged their feet in diagnosis. black mold all over one wall (maybe 20 sq ft) at move in. heater broken at move in, which has not been fixed for nearly two years despite repeated notices and attempts. heating my apartment with the space heaters they have costs nearly $2k/month in electric during winter. package theft is horrible, no mail room and about 50% of packages get stolen even if you check the mail pretty promptly”

“Pros: Got what I wanted: artistic community Cons: Was simply not maintained”

“Pros: Loft style living - lots of space. Cons: Unresponsive management. None of the amenities on the website are real. Broken, ineffective buzzer. Packages constantly stolen. Laundry room is filthy and machines are barely usable with their “app”. We had a leak in our ceiling that took 2 years to fix (they did nothing until we reported it to the city, twice). Roof is trashed. Building is filthy. Full of 22 yr olds who want to pretend they’re living in the McKibbin lofts in 2006. Advice to landlord: Get a real buzzer system so people stop letting thieves into the building. Fix the roof and enforce some rules so the adults who pay to live here can use it. Make a secure package room so tenants can actual receive things they pay for.”
