Just...don't.
March 14, 2024 - Reseña de Apartments.com
I live on the top floor, and every time there's heavy rain, my ceiling leaks. No—not just leaks: plaster and paint also fall. The plaster around the windows also cracks, and there's evidence of water damage around the apartment. The hallway leaks as well; there's a large 5+ gallon bucket sitting in the hall most of the time (I guess they don't feel like removing the bucket after it rains?), so it's not like this is an isolated event.
The main reason this isn't a one-star review is because ...
maintenance is very responsive and has patched the ceiling up numerous times now (though at a certain point...why? The roof isn't fixed, so it's only a matter of time before it happens again). There's also a lot of closet space, which is nice, and the apartment is larger than most you'll find in Manhattan for this price point. That being said...
The biggest issue: ROACHES. You'll see them crawling in the laundry room, lobby, elevators, hallways...it's a major problem. They ruined my printer and microwave—and got into my laptop, effectively nuking the battery. I've tried copious amounts of prevention/extermination tactics, but it's a building-wide issue. I'm going to have to get rid of all of my furniture when I move, which is going to be extremely expensive to replace.
It's almost impossible to get behind the stove due to the placement of the island (makes me wonder how they installed the stove in the first place), but once you pull it forward, you can see just how shittily the apartment was put together. Think huge uncaulked gaps between peel-and-stick tiles and the wall and similar gaps between the floor and the wall. Behind the fridge is the same. Also—I don't have an exhaust fan. Never have; just the metal hood with nothing inside.
The laundry room has a good number of machines, but there are a handful of broken ones on any given day—and they're rarely marked, so you'll effectively waste your money because management can't be bothered to put up out of order signs.
Given the location, the intense traffic sounds are inevitable. Really the least of the building's issues (and no fault of the building itself). The elevators can get filthy (think sticky floors and small piles of trash) and, when they go out (sometimes 2/3 at a time), take forever to be fixed. Overall, I don't recommend living here.
