Belshire Manor I-II Apartments

Previous tenants’ hair is everywhere; kitchen cupboards caked and sticky with grease; filthy kitchen appliances inside and outside; mounds of dirt, even chap sticks and cutlery behind and under all the kitchen appliances! *Bathroom just plain NASTY! *Bi-fold closet doors in the apartment have fallen off the tracks! *Obvious dirt around and behind the outlet and switch plates - they simply painted over the dirt! *I just keep finding filth everywhere including mounds inside and hanging on the bathroom and kitchen vents! *Shared terraces so anyone can walk over to your terrace door and windows and see or enter inside! *Roaches! *Dog barking ALL DAY & NIGHT even though I was told NO DOGS or PETS are allowed – BTW current ads for the apartments say “Cats Allowed - Dogs Allowed!”! *Filthy elevators and gigantic questionable stains on hallway carpets! *Extremely small refuse room for the number of tenants on each floor so it is always overflowing with garbage, blocking the shoot so you can't even get in to properly dispose of your garbage! *Impossible street parking so they charge excessive parking fee for outside and underground on-site parking! *Nasty and rude security guard; non-English speaking maintenance staff; unavailable super and no contact information for landlord/management company! *Unbelievable noise from the nearby school! *EXCESSIVE rent for non-upgraded apartment although this is a rent-stabilized building! *Laundry room is not clean and requires a huge amount of "quarters" per load! *Building front door lock flimsy and requires two hands to open door so forget about holding onto your packages/bag/child, etc. Most of the maintenance and cleaning issues were pointed out to the broker who assured me they would be addressed before I moved in! Unfortunately many of the above would not have been seen during the viewing of the apartment and only experienced once you move in! My advice – BEWARE! Seek living accommodations elsewhere.

people in the office can get edgy, you have to know how to deal with that. I suggest just be nice. The shopping is great in Bay Terrace shopping center and I love the Stop&Shop there. Overall, very happy. And it is auiet where I live and not one roach, which could be because I have a cat. I do recommend this building.

sunsets - what a wonderful, wonderful treat., night after night. I feel like I'm on vacation in my own home...a dream come true.

have every type of food imaginable delivered right to your door.
