“Great experience. A lot of information was requested and it was cumbersome, but we also understand the process. We are happy and glad to recommend other prospective tenants to this building if need be.”

“Great international diverse community. Fantastic amenities in the building: gym, lounge, rooftop and backyard. Wonderful friendly and professional management and maintenance staff. Great location with direct access to subway system.”

“Pros: Rent stabilized, W/D in unit, onsite gym and outdoor space Cons: The appliances in the apartments are dated and really need to be replaced. There is sometimes street noise on weekends. Advice to landlord: Replace the super old PTAC units--they are noisy!”

“I'm quiet, clean, and friendly. I enjoy occasional interaction with neighbors and staff. I think Juan and his team are great. There are little things like fitness equipment upgrades, more frequent updates to appliances, and updating various things like cabinets, shelving, and the lounge. The building is in good shape overall, but starting to show its age.”

“Pros: Rent stabilized!! Good building, responsive fixes, gym for tenants is great. Cons: Living on lower floor on street side there is a lot of street noise day and night especially summer weekends, and weed fumes. We use white noise machines, sleep headphones.

“I recently moved into the Balton! Great staff at the apartment! Easy approval process! Great amenities, etc! Rent stabalized is the way to go! This building sits directly on the express A and D subway routes! Easy access to ANYWHERE!”

“Unit 407 Pros: The building has great amenities, a great doorman, and great neighbors. I spent a lot of time in the gym (which is better equipped than some paid gyms) and met a lot of friendly faces. Extremely convenient access to express and local subways right across the street. Cons: The street outside can get pretty loud late at night. Advice to landlord: I have no complaints”

“Pros: The Concierge is great Cons: The maintenance of the building Advice to landlord: The laundry room looks like it belongs in the projects! None of the machines work And the ones that do work they do not work properly. There’s nasty chip paint When you enter the building everywhere. The walls need painting. The overall maintenance of the building has gone down significantly. There is no more order when it comes to the amenities.”
