All 25 tenant reviews.

“Unit 14 Pros: usually very clean lots of sunlight new intercom solid heat & water Cons: sometimes very dirty some roaches even on 6th floor hiked up price by $200 per bedroom in 1 year ($600 total)”

“Pros: great loctation, great neighbors, high ceilings Cons: the super only responded if he felt like it or felt like it was nessessary Advice to landlord: fix the small things before they cause bigger issues”

“Unit 8 Pros: The proximity to the best bars & restaurants in Manhattan, multiple subway lines, and Trader Joe’s and target is priceless Cons: In my 3 years here we had mice, a cockroach infestation, a disintegrating/flooding ceiling, mold, a broken dishwasher for >2 months, and countless other small maintenance issues. The super and management were extraordinarily unresponsive and unhelpful up until they got a new super this year who lives in the building and things have improved since then”

“Pros: My apartment was newly renovated when I moved in. The lobby area was always clean. Cons: Although it was a nice apartment, I do think some units are overvalued and overpriced for the size (at least for my apartment in hindsight). Advice to landlord: None”

“Pros: Great location, nice appliances Cons: Cockroach problems, leaky pipes Advice to landlord: Get new boiler for hot water heating”

“Pros: Good location, right inbetween orchard and Ludlow Cons: Do not live here!!! It is completely cockroach infested and smells like cigarettes from the tenants. It is not cleanly the trash has rats. The management is absolutely awful. Advice to landlord: Tent the whole building”

“Unit 10 Pros: What a block to live on Cons: Our apartment was barely updated and then they price gouged us after covid. We didn't have one closet in the entire apartment. And only one sink in the kitchen. No sink in the bathroom. No one should be paying thousands of dollars for a room that only fits a full and a dresser. Especially if there is no other space”

“Unit 4 Pros: Building wasn’t expensive and a good location. Rooftop is great also Cons: Building was a mess. The garbage room was disgusting and the hallway entrance always reeked of garbage. Buzzer was broken for months and the managing company is not very responsive”

“Pros: Great location and neighborhood Cons: Pests can be an issue Advice to landlord: Better garbage management”

“Pros: Fantastic location, great street and close to FMJ trains. Smells like cookies in the lobby Cons: Appliances are often broken, some mild plumbing problems, 1 noisy neighbor that yells in the hallway whenever they’re leaving, hard to get anyone to fix anything Advice to landlord: Fix things!”

“Pros: One of the best blocks on the LES, pet friendly building Cons: This building is unfortunately completely infested with roaches on all floors. We see dozens a day at all times of the day throughout the apartment (not confined to sinks). There have also been hot water and heat issues - going multiple days without - throughout the winter. Advice to landlord: Fix the roach issue”

“Pros: Great location, decent tenants Cons: Front door lock is broken and packages get stolen, heat often doesn’t work in the winter, mice, roaches, super doesn’t show up to fix things, someone keeps taking the trash room door code off the door so trash gets piled into the lobby”

“Pros: close proximity to the tenant museum Cons: Tenants leave their garbage in the stairwell Advice to landlord: get a grip on the waste management”

“Pros: Normally shaped rooms. Cons: Pests, no heat or hot water for a week in December. Advice to landlord: Don’t leave stair windows open”

“Pros: Location location location Cons: No heat, rats, roaches, non responsive super and management company Advice to landlord: Respond to emails and calls”

“Pros: Great location on the LES, and the building itself has a lot of character Cons: We had issues with hot water outages that weren't announced ahead of time, pests in the hallways, and an inattentive super/owner that was nearly impossible to get ahold of to fix any issues Advice to landlord: Get a super that responds when there's a problem”

“Pros: good location, good nightlife Cons: mold in units and throughout the building, bad pest management, unresponsive management/maintenance makes temporary fixes that don't last, no heat during winter”

“Pros: nice location great food Cons: trash can be an issue”

“Pros: Quiet and clean building. We never had issues with hot water or water pressure. No bugs or mice. Cons: There was a rat problem in the trash alley in the winter. It was eventually handled but was quite bad for some time. The management company will absolutely never respond to your emails. They essentially forced us to pay for a lock that came broken when we moved in because they never responded to our emails about reimbursement. Additionally it took them over a month to fix our broken kitchen appliance and they did not compensate us via rent reduction when we asked. Advice to landlord: Please be more responsive to your tenants.”

“Pros: Good location but it’s loud and getting more unsafe. No bugs tho which is great. Cons: Takes a while for the them to respond to requests and can get dirty in hallways Advice to landlord: Turn it into luxury condos with a doorman”

“Unit 5 Pros: Great area, no pests, no major maintenance issues Cons: Bad heating. During winter would get extremely cold in apartment”

“Unit 14 Pros: Location, rooftop, decent pest control, easy neighbors, pretty quiet. Cons: Management is less than responsive on both minor and major/urgent issues. Heat is nonexistent in the winter. Our neighbors are currently suing the building due to sewage backup into their apartment. Packages are stolen 50% of the time. Advice to landlord: Treat your tenants with at least some respect/care. Saying there’s “nothing you can do” about heat/hot water issues and packages consistently being stolen (there are no cameras installed in this building) is unacceptable.”

“Pros: Old and beautiful Cons: Management/maintenance are completely unreachable. Mice, roaches, leaking radiators, floor tiles coming up, broken stove, no heat, safety hazard. Management refuses to spend any money or time doing necessary checks to keep tenants safe. Advice to landlord: Take responsibility for this property and keep people safe. Building inspections URGENTLY needed. Tenants are without HEAT in middle of winter.”

“Pros: Great location, not terrible in terms of pests (at least when I was there on the 2nd floor). No real surprises after moving in. Cons: Absolutely ridiculously sized “rooms.” Sort of building where they throw up dry wall in a studio and call it a 2 bedroom.”

“Pros: None whatsoever period Cons: Everything under the sun Advice to landlord: Check your security cameras, thefts are coming from inside the building”
