“Unit 6D Pros: There aren't many nice things to say about this building. Cons: Management is horrible. Electricity bills are outrageous because there is no insulation in the apartment. There were months where utilities cost over $300. The garage is shared with ZipCar rentals so there are random people coming in and out of the garage where tenant cars and bikes are often. I've had my bike stolen from the garage before.”

“Pros: Nothing at all Cons: The landlords were deceitful about absolutely everything. They installed the wrong heaters in the building which did not work properly and everyone had bills that were over $500 per month. Some people complained that they were over $800 per month when they were not even there. The building was built shoddily and one time, rain and snow poured into the lounge and it took over a month to fix it. They left a random refrigerator in the lounge for months also. The DOB and DOH was constantly visiting the building for tenant complaints. Advice to landlord: Get out of the business of real estate.”

“Pros: Responsive supers, kitchen/bathroom amenities Cons: Poor communication from landlords/building mgmt, limited resources for mitigating theft and break ins, poor security with Zipcar sharing space in parking garage—tenants have witnessed Zipcar users loitering in the garage and Zipcar staff/contractors physically break into tenant cars due to confusion over which cars Zipcar owns vs tenants. Advice to landlord: Please discontinue relationship with Zipcar to better protect tenant security”

“Pros: It’s rent stabilized but overpriced. Cons: The building is for sale because the owners never paid their mortgages and are being sued by the bank-so they got evicted from their office and fled the US. The management company that took over is terrible. They have so many violations they are not able to sell the building so they are letting it fall apart while they treat the tenants terribly. It’s not safe. We’ve had many break ins due to poor security and maintenance of entrances. Many maintenance issues go unresolved and result in further issues/damage. Poor construction that results in plumbing issues, leaks, ventilation issues, fire systems not being properly maintained, poor insulation so it’s hard to keep warm or cold and so on. The windows don’t properly close so bugs can just walk in. The office managers bully/harass tenants to sign renewals with illegal rent hikes and conditions and threaten by sending brokers to your apt at all hours and threaten illegal evictions. They have been awful bullies during the pandemic and never put any safety measures in place. They fired the cleaning person last year so the supers are responsible for cleaning and are not able to properly so every amenity is a farce bc things are broken and/filthy. Most of the gym equipment has been stolen or broken. They charge you for bike storage you can’t use bc it’s a zip car garage and they get stolen daily. The super has given our the entrance codes to people collecting cans who have now started to steal things and defecate in the garage. It’s truly a nightmare and if I could afford to move right now I would live anywhere else. They are truly monsters and put on a really good show to get you to sign a lease and then leave you to deal with all of the issues for the remainder of your tenancy. Advice to landlord: Fire Luz Simo, clear the violations and sell the building already.”
