All 10 tenant reviews.

“Unit 5F Pros: The location is convenient. Cons: This landlord is a slumlord. High tenant turnover. They deliberately provide a horrible experience so they can jack up the rent for new tenants who don’t know about their maintenance problems. There are serious ventilation problems that have affected multiple units. No living room/kitchen windows (311 violation) in many units. The bathrooms are attached to the bedrooms (which is convenient and rare in NY apartments), but they have no windows and poor fans which keeps indoor humidity levels incredibly high, allowing mold to grow on personal items and in the floor. There is moisture and mold growing on the 5th floor, so I wouldn’t trust the unit below. The bathrooms are so small that water splashes everywhere when showering. There is black mold in the bathroom door frame that management painted over with waterproof paint. Previous tenants stopped paying rent because the landlord would not remediate mold. They did not tell any tenants about the recurring mold issues, and do not fix them. Prior to moving in, I was not notified of nearby construction that soon blocked my living room/kitchen window (which is not only depressing but a 311 violation). You often hear fire alarms in other units going off while tenants cook because of poor kitchen ventilation. The property manager, Gila, never responds to emails. The phone number in the lobby is unreachable. The maintenance guy is rude and condescending. Also, they relist the same units on Streeteasy under different numbers to make it look like units haven’t been on the market very long to keep prices high and hard to track the history of. This building has five floors with ten units: one front (F) and one back (B), so if you see “4N” or “3C,” know it’s fake. This building is managed by DPG NY, so beware of any apartments managed by them. STAY AWAY!!!! Advice to landlord: Address tenant’s concerns, properly remediate building violations, give a real phone number to communicate with, follow up on maintenance, remodel the units for proper ventilation”

“Unit 3B Pros: Laundry in building, nice roof deck, AC/Heat units in each room, each bedroom has its own bathroom. Cons: A building was built right next to our apartment that is flush against our living room windows, leaving them blocked permanently. There was no notice of this happening from management, and we were not allowed a rent decrease or shortened lease term due to this. It wasn’t managements fault that the building was built, but the permits to build the building were filed months before the building went up, yet we were never informed.”

“Pros: You get your own bathroom Cons: Owner knows building doesn’t meet code and does nothing about it”

“Pros: -3 bathrooms -cool rooftop Cons: -maintenance is completely unresponsive -TERRIBLE ventilation, cannot cook without opening a window -ILLEGAL UNITS! Construction is being built right up to the building and removing all the living room windows for the apartments. The landlord is hiding information and completely ignoring tenants concerns. The units break NYC window laws for kitchens now, making the company force tenants to live in illegal units that fail to meet NYC code while being completely MIA. Advice to landlord: Respond to tenants and don't rent out units that become illegal mid-lease without at least informing tenants.”

“Pros: 4 bath is a game changer Everything was very nice and updated Cons: Management was very unresponsive, took multiple calls to get an answer to maintenance issues Rent was raised exponentially after first year Had a major issue with security in storage rooms and things being moved without anyone letting us know”

“Pros: Clean, laundry in building, AC, personal bathrooms. Cons: Not much storage space. Thin walls. Advice to landlord: Could be more responsive”

“Pros: I lived in this apartment for only a year and had a pretty good experience. The laundry room is fine and I never had any problems with bugs. Cons: Maintenance guys were NOT normally very helpful and I dealt with some issues that needed them.”

“Pros: nice space, good light Cons: kinda loud neighbors”

“Pros: It had beautiful prices during the pandemic and the apartments are all either 3 bed / 2 bath OR 4 bed / 4 bath. WARNING: do not rent the “storage rooms” Cons: 1. The landlord is an absolute nightmare. The basement has storage rooms which are protected by a keypad door lock. We paid $100/month only to find all the storage rooms’ door’s missing after a few months and later finding out the doors to each storage room had the same combination. The landlord did not respond to emails regarding this and continued charging for the room despite the obvious inability to use it safely. 2. The landlord sent people in to empty our apartment before our lease was up and refused to return the items that were taken. 3. After moving out, the landlord did not send the security deposit until three months after the move out date. 4. The “gym” is just an empty room labeled as a gym. No functional equipment. 5. Construction started in the basement after some flooding but no tenants were notified about this construction. A big mess of tools and building materials were scattered throughout the basement.”

“Pros: New, clean, location Cons: Poor communication, lack of responsiveness, package thieves”
