The luxury apartments are beautiful ... but lack the luxury of the BASIC essentials of living...quietness and heat.
HEAT: Or lack there of... Expect EXPENSIVE electric bills and sleepless nights. The windows literally have cold air GUSTING in the winter months due to poor sealing. It is a historic building so windows are old and inefficient. Also they were never sealed properly during the building of the apartments. The layout for heating the spaces are poor. Heat vents at ceiling level so they do not actually heat anything except the ceiling. Electric bills are $200-300 a month at LEAST. And after paying all of that, you still will not be able to live in the apartment unless you are under a blanket in winter. We had to eat dinner in bed to survive.
NOISE: those leaking windows also allow NOISE in, you can expect to hear the conversations of people walking by on the sidewalk , and consistent sirens at all hours of the night. You WILL NOT sleep. Construction and sidewalk cleanings are done after midnight and since the windows are paper think you WILL hear everything. If you don't like sleeping live here. Except to buy blackout curtains, ear plugs, or just stab yourself in the ears till you cannot hear.
KICKER: The management is... suprise suprise... the WORST. Yes, Jessica I'm talking to you. You should NOT have this job. You do not understand how to run a business.
What did you say when we, MODEL tenants, wrote a kind email the first time mentioning the issues with the window and requesting maintenance take a look... oh yeah.. you just suggested we MOVE. Seems like a normal response.
Well we did, and we will NEVER advise anyone to live here. read more
