Discussion about 220 Water at 220 Water Street in DUMBO
Do not rent here! Horrible management. A $50 amenity fee every month tacked onto the already steep rent. For what? Cheap Ikea kitchens, uneven counter tops, faucets that splash water everywhere. A building manager that is not only rude, but is on the biggest power trip ever. The website boasts that there is a concierge service? As a former resident, I never saw such service. This is not a building you call home.
After sitting on the market for months, some of these rental units are taking $500/month increases with a new brokerage. Very bizarre.
The potential Manhattan views are obstructed by a building in front of 220 Water that is taller.
The reason is, it's DUMBO, and DUMBO is off the starts right now.
Sorry I meant off the charts. Whatever.
Yep, to live without any "neighborhood" amenities, i.e. supermarket, with only a single transit option and well, Vinegar Hill nearby (which isn't at all nice or safe imo), these are not good value apartments. I rather have less space, but in a better neighborhood.
Does anyone know why they are advertising some of these units as RENT STABILIZED? They seem to be well-above the $2500 it takes to become de-controlled. Is there some sort of subsidy or tax break that makes these stabilized?
The landlord gets a J51 exemption, so pays no RE taxes. It ends in 14 years or so. In return, the apartments are stabilized.
