Pros:
- Close to the Grove Street Path Station
Cons:
- Roslyn Realty is the worst landlord ever. They see the tenants as money bags, not human beings. More than a month before I moved out, I emailed them about my move out date/time. It wasn't until the MORNING of my move when they told me I couldn't move that day. They basically said they were busy and couldn't accommodate my schedule. The cleaning/painting fee is ridiculous. $1100 to paint, $350 to clean. I tried to do my best to clean and paint myself, but they charged me anyways because I missed a spot under the faucet of the bathtub, and there were some small discolorations on the wall. One time the ceiling above my bathtub leaked and eventually the panel collapsed. I had to email them multiple times over multiple days before they sent a maintenance worker. They also removed a washing machine and dryer from my floor without informing us.
- Terrible security. Around Christmas, a thief got into the building and ripped open all the packages in the mailroom and hallway. They took all the valuables and left a mess. For all I know, the landlord took no actions in informing the residents or improving security.
- Thin walls and ceilings. I can hear every step from my upstairs neighbor. I can hear every word of my neighbors television when I'm in the bathroom. On Fridays and Saturdays, I can hear the next door club's music at 1am.
- Insanely loud construction. There have been multiple times when I've been woken up from the construction that's happening on the rooftop at 8am, and I"m 3 floors below. Sometimes I heard it continuously throughout the day making it very difficult to work from home.
- Poor quality construction. The floor is uneven and there are paint smears from before I moved in. I used the chain lock for the front door once before the chain broke, and my neighbor had the exact same issue. One of the cabinet doors started falling off a couple months after I moved in. The toilet paper holder fell apart around the same time. The paint on the walls are really weird. If you rub on it, some of the powder comes off onto your finger. The window was really drafty and the the hallways were not heated during the winter.
- Lack of sunlight. I was in an interior unit which had no natural sunlight at all.
It's telling when the only positive review for this apartment is from the landlord themselves. If I could give them negative stars, I would.
