The pros:
- Spacious apartments
- Walkable location to downtown and MTA
- Super, Brandon, is amazing and so helpful
- Quiet, friendly neighbors
The cons:
- Elevator is shut down frequently and for long periods of time. Recently it was shut down for over 2 weeks and this building is 7 stories tall.
- Water is also shut off for repairs frequently and for 8+ hours at a time.
- Construction projects take a long time. I lived here for two years with the promise of new buzzers before they were
...actually installed. Current project is the front entrance which has taken 3+ months and is still not completed. These projects are pretty disruptive and not done in a timely manner.
- Management is unresponsive.
- Lots of construction in the area which is loud and disruptive.
- Pests are common. Pest control is onsite weekly.
- Kitchens and bathrooms are updated but the work is not durable or high quality. Not the worst but room for improvement.
Overall - this is probably a decent option if you can’t afford the luxury apartments in the area or want more space than those apartments offer. However, I am not sure I would recommend it given all the issues. Many of the residents feel similarly.
