“Pros: The building is in a great area in Woodside closed to 46th street bliss stop. The super is very responsive and him and his wife so a great job maintaining the building. Per friendly! Cons: There are no security cameras. People have complained, packages are stolen and management has not done anything. The laundry room is not real. The washers are from the 1980s. Everyone takes their clothes down the block or gets laundry sent out. Advice to landlord: Fix the security cameras and the laundry room! Be attentive.”

“Pros: Initially clean with good, long term neighbors. Spacious floor plans. Cons: Nothing has been maintained over our years here. Lobby has steadily declined as walls, fireplace, and pediment were damaged and never repaired. Christmas lights have been hanging in the lobby continuously since 2017. Never a response from management regarding any issues. Caliber of tenants has steadily declined. Advice to landlord: Do anything at all.”

“Pros: Apartments are big and the layout is very good. Good amount of natural light. Cons: Walls are thin and so you’ll hear all your neighbors. Of course, some neighbors are more respectful than others regarding that. Problems with heat were common too. Management was impossible to be reached. Parties being thrown that would be heard at the whole building section. Very old elevator and non-taken care of lobby. Problems with packages being stolen. Advice to landlord: Invest some money and effort in creating a good community of people living together by taking care of noises, parties, package theft. Offer reasonable heat Respond to calls”

“Pros: Rent increases were relatively reasonable. Recently renovated units are good and spacious, bathrooms are updated (though some are haphazardly finished), and they put in good kitchen appliances (typically GE stainless steel) that work. The neighbors are a mixed bag - cute families, friendly retirees, and some former tenants I still keep in touch with; and then there are others you just want to avoid. The superintendent does a decent job keeping the public spaces clean. Verizon Fios is available in this building as an alternative to Spectrum. Cons: Everything else. Management (Benedict Realty Group, or BRG) is pretty much unresponsive to all of your work tickets - some had gone unresolved by the time I’d moved out. At the end of the day you’re just a number on a balance sheet. The most they’d done for tenants was notify us of a broken boiler (we knew, it was reading 45 F inside the apartment), and provided tiny space heaters, during the Polar Vortex of January 2019. Noise from neighbors was just unbearable despite escalations with management and 311 noise complaints - their combined PA speaker and subwoofer would literally knock your socks off. The superintendent will also drunkenly show up to your door and yell at you for complaining about something. Cockroaches, just lots of cockroaches. Advice to landlord: Provide a better tenant experience (quicker responses, more approachable/reachable by phone or email, fix problems before they lead to a tenant riot over heating issues on the coldest day of the year) instead of caring about your short-term bottom line? It might just improve your bottom line in the long run.”
