★★★★★Apr 2026

“Unit 3B Pros: Location, good overall Cons: Trash management isn’t consistent, buts it’s never been too bad. The utilities were very expensive, I believe due to bad window insulation (there are a lot of windows, nice for sun) Advice to landlord: Improve building energy efficiency/fix drafty windows- it’s too expensive to heat apartment in winter”

“Unit 2B Pros: If you can get a deal in this building, the apartment sizes are nice Cons: Management is a joke - unresponsive to major leaks in your apartment. Property managers and supers change seemingly by the day Advice to landlord: be responsive”

“Pros: Close to BC so you can get anywhere Cons: From the get-go we had so many issues with this apartment from a cockroach infestation to nearly 7 mice in a month. It turned out it was all coming from our dishwasher but the amount of effort it took to get management to answer and send over pest control was an absolute nightmare. The entire garbage area is overridden with rats, there was always flooding in the hallway - DO NOT move here Advice to landlord: Shut down”

“Unit 1A Pros: Near Columbia and several restaurants. Quiet building. Cons: Massive roach infestations, rats always in the garbage room, several mice in my apartment, and the management was unhelpful and unresponsive. The occasional exterminator came in and refused to properly investigate or solve the many problems with the apartment and building. Had to live elsewhere for months due to the uninhabitable conditions and no rent abatement was granted. Oh also, no laundry in building, frequent package thefts, and gas/electric bills were extremely high. Save yourself and avoid this property.”

“Pros: The space in our apartment was huge. Nice natural light in the living areas (although not in 2 of the bedrooms), close to Central Park, and nice exposed brick. Cons: • very low natural light in two of the bedrooms • the garbage area was infested with rats for so long. We were always terrified to throw away our garbage. • some of the other tenants would scream late in the evening. Twice we went down to check on them and they said everything was okay but there was still screaming that could be heard from the fifth floor • the heat was astronomically expensive. Whatever your rent is, tack on 300-400 just for gas. The broker told us each unit had its own boiler and was responsible for heat, but said the price cost would be insignificant. It was definitely not. Even in the coldest months when we barely had it on we paid almost 200.”

“Unit 2A Pros: The building was comfortable and in a great location. The neighbors were always friendly. I never lost any mail or anything. It’s in a great location. Virtual doorman was amazing. Cons: Packages just kind of thrown about. Windows faced an alleyway.”
