(Part 3) More information, reply from the leasing manager: (Note, I exchanged a couple emails, and this is a consolidated FAQ list from those several). BTW, Nora Gross get's 8 out of 10 stars for email replies. Always informative and professional. Almost always a response. However, sometimes only 99% responsive to all the questions, and often with a length delay. Lengthy delays might be a good thing, because I think they're very busy, i.e. people want to live here.
(1) Are utilities included?
-- Yes, there is a $285/year fee for installing your own window A/C units, but everything else (heat, water, electric) is included.
(2) What is the square feet per unit?
-- There are approximately 2,500 units in 59 buildings. Units may very slightly but they are all very similar. Approximately, 400 sqft (studio); 600 sqft (1-bed); 800 sqft (2-bed); and 1000 sqft (3-bed).
[Poster's note: These used to be federally funded projects, and thus are remarkably uniform in construction and have less sqft per bedroom than your average apartment.]
(3) Pets? -- cats and dogs under 40 lbs.
(4) What's up with the security?
-- There is a porter in each building with a radio, and 24-hour professional (i.e. allowed to make arrests) security for the complex. Approximately 10 people patrolling at any given time.
(5) Elevators? -- One per building, totally redone and modernized so that repairs are efficient when needed.
(6) Laundry? -- Brand new central facility, and retail facility across from the subway stop. Dry cleaners right next to the subway.
(7) Package receiving? -- All units have one central mail room next to the laundry room for the whole complex. There is a package receiving room that will accept packages or take outgoing packages.
(8) Security deposit at lease signing? -- A non-refundable $500 deposit will secure a unit and be applied to the leasing requirement. At signing the first month's rent and a security deposit equal to that is due. Bank checks only. Lease dates are the first and fifteenth of every month, unless that's a Saturday or Sunday and then it's the Friday before. You may move in anytime on or after your lease date.
(9) Availability? -- Several studios and one bedrooms to choose from. More than one 2-bedroom unit is usually available to choose from. No three bedrooms are available and rarely become available (no wait list is maintained).
