The Sweater Factory Apartments

appliances. There are laundry rooms on every floor, which is a major game changer, and a service elevator to help with your move. But, don't be fooled by all of the above. It's obvious the the building owners cut costs when turning this former warehouse into residences. They call the spaces lofts, purely based on ceiling height, because our apartment is not large enough to be considered a loft by any other standard. The walls that make up my room are paper thin, and I can clearly hear the tenants on the other side of the wall. Because the landlords wanted to fit as many apartments as possible into this building, they outfitted the majority of bedrooms with loft platforms as space savers. In fact, my room is an interior room with no windows to the outside. So sleeping in the room, in the middle of a New York summer, can only be seen as torture since I have nowhere to put an AC unit. I am, however, lucky enough to have a opening to the kitchen, right next to my bed, which is covered by a plastic sheet. I had to install curtains, so the lights from the kitchen would not bother me. But that's not all, since I am on the 1st floor, I am constantly struggling to fall asleep at night because of my neighbors upstairs. They seem to live a nocturnal lifestyle and I can only assume they like to run in circles in the apartment for recreational activity because the constant thumping is SO LOUD. Lately there have been issues with the Super following up on maintenance requests. We have had water leaks from the apartment above and a non-working oven for weeks now and the Super has not come by to fix these things, even though he said he would. Its just frustrating to know that the owners are collecting so much money from all the tenants, and its ok for them to slack on the maintenance of people's apartments.
