(This review/opinion is based on my experience living at this building from around 2020 - 2022)
FYI. I'm not a board member of this building, so I won't skew my review to favor this building and management team.
This condominium is located at a convenient spot, but I feel like this area is still unsafe to live in if you are a female. Every once in a while, you could spot homeless people wandering around this area, and the small park diagonally across from this building have many homeless staying there. You could also see rats running around on the street at night.
There are many issues I encountered during my two years of living here, and I have listed them below:
1) As other review mentioned below, I still find bugs like spider beetles appearing in my apartment.
2) The in-unit washer constantly emits this super-strong sewage smell. I have tried the method (using the syringe to add water to the drain every 2-4 weeks) given in the super's email that was sent to ALL residents, but it didn't work at all. I always clean my washer and dryer every week, but it hasn't changed the situation, so it's probably an issue that the resident couldn't easily fix. I noticed the smell would get worse on rainy days as well.
3) Although there's HVAC in every unit, it works on and off. There are times the heating system would blow cold air during the winter period. Also, for unknown reasons, if other units are using the bathroom or smoking, you could smell it in your room.
4) I recommend checking your water every time you use it because one time, I saw the water coming out from the faucet was yellow and had debris in it. I didn't get any notice about it until I asked the doorman what happened to the water.
5) Every time the subway passes underneath, you can feel and hear the vibration of the floor/wall. I do not live on the lower floor, and I could still hear the sound or feel the vibration.
6) Sometimes when the window cleaning team finishes their work, they like to leave the cable out. If the days are windy, the cable would hit the window and cause extremely loud noises throughout the day. Then you have to wait for super to fix it and that takes time.
Overall, this building might look modern and clean from the outside, but the quality of the interior is questionable. read more
