★★★★★Sep 2025

“Pros: Great apartments, staff is friendly and helpful, responsive maintenance and pest control (some years better than others). Highly recommend Cons: Building mostly stays on top of cockroach extermination, but occasionally exterminator has been a no show and infestations would get bad in those times”

★★★★★Apr 2022

“Pros: Rent stabilized so rent only goes up by a small percentage each year. The doormen and bulging staff are very helpful and friendly. The units are spacious and have lots of closet space. The building is very convenient—located near the subway and lots of good restaurants and bars. Units facing the street may be too loud for some people, but it doesn’t bother me. Cons: Too cold in the winter. The units are not sound proofed well so I hear my upstairs neighbors often. Common areas (like the laundry room) need to be updated and cleaned. Advice to landlord: The laundry room needs to be cleaned and common areas need to be updated. The patio is not well utilized—should put more chair outside and plans do people can enjoy it.”

★★★★★Oct 2021

“Pros: I have lived here for many years and love the family feeling in the building. Everyone Says hello when passing in the hallway and chats in the gym and laundry room. Our wonderful doormen keep us and our packages safe! Cons: I with them upkeep of the hallways and stairwells was a bit better. The building could do with some fresh paint and new carpet. Advice to landlord: Having someone walk the stairwells occasionally would be great. The amount of cigarette butts that accumulate in the back stairwells is gross.”

★★★★★Sep 2021

“Pros: The elevators always work, neighbors are hospitable and kind, and the doormen are very helpful. Lived here for a year and never saw a rodent, and the building stays very clean in common areas. Cons: This is so nitpicky, but the gym needs a bit of updating. Honestly, it’s not that bad and very convenient.”

★★★★★Mar 2021

“Pros: The neighborhood is AMAZING The doormen are incredibly sweet, especially Thomas. Laundry and (small) gym in the building are a great perk. Cons: The landlords are hostile and mean, and responds to criticism with comments like “then move somewhere else”. The actual rental company itself is not responsive or kind. The super (Eddie) is a pathological liar, bully and racist. He charged people of color more for laundry cards, and made racial slurs. He never works but when he does it’s bad work, which he then blames on others. Advice to landlord: Fire Eddie. He’s a lazy, crooked, horrible man.”
