Sigh... This company is going to get sued one day, and I just hope that it's recorded so I can…read morewatch the proceedings. You will not get your deposit back. I recieved a breakdown of what was wrong with my unit (well past the legal timeframe in which they're supposed to send it, and ONLY because I pushed them for it), and at the bottom, it shows that I am owed $600 of my original deposit, and to this day, I've gotten nothing. They've broken so many laws just in that above statement and from previous reviews, it appears to be an ongoing issue with them. So keep that in mind if you decide to proceed.
I moved here from out of state in the beginning of 2022. The realtor I worked with was pretty easy, he sent me a video and gave me a lot of good information, so I moved forward despite the negative reviews. For the first year or so, it wasn't bad living here. I was on the third floor. There were some noise problems, but never terrible. That is when things started to go downhill.
First, the laundry room is an absolute disaster. The only time I could use it was very early in the morning, I would race down there before the machines were taken. As a note for any renters- it is NOT OKAY to take 3-4 machines at a time. Have some decency. There was also some lady that would charge tenants in the building to do their laundry for them. In our shared laundry room. And she would take all of the machines to run her (probably) illegal business... and the Einstein kids move in every fall for a new medical school class and, well, just take that statement how you wish.
Then came my upstairs neighbors in the fall of 2023. Now I know what it is to live in an apartment building. I understand noise levels are sometimes uncontrollable, but whoever lived in 418 ruined my life, literally. I knew their ENTIRE schedule from dawn to dusk because they would STOMP ALL DAY LONG. I sent in SEVERAL complaints to no avail. The super told me to call the police... we live in the BRONX. They don't care. but OK, cool. We also had a couple (I think?) that lived down the hall that had multiple knock-down drag-out fights where the cops had to come break them up in the actual middle of the night. There were also several dogs on my floor that barked all.day.long.
Speaking of the superintendant... he is not your friend. Beware. He. Is. Not. Your. Friend.
So yeah, two stars. The only good thing was that it was close to the Bx12 bus stops and relatively close to the 6 train. Nice park across the street. Safe area. Stillwell Ave gets really heavy traffic, so not great there.
I would NOT live in this building again! I also had a package stolen from the mail room, so beware of that, too!
