I signed my lease this week, management informed me that the HEAT runs off of our electric bill. We as tenants are responsible for paying the electric. The ad said that heating, gas, water was included. Management informed me that if I like my heat high (which I do BC I'm sensitive to the cold, that my electric bill would be high & to be cautious when using the heat). I've never paid for heat, it was always included in my lease. And I've never had the heat run off of electric. I was expecting my monthly electric bill to be under $50 per month (more whn a/c is on) for my 1 bedroom (its just me) but now apparantly I'll be paying for my heat usage & billed for it on my electric bill, which the landlord bills us directly ( we don't get a con ed bill). Does anyone have any idea as to how much the electric bill with heat running off of it, would cost per month?? Anyone that has already received a bill? Just want to get an idea of how much it would be?? Thanks

My bill for the last month was at $58. Also 1 bd-room, PTAC / paying for electric. I'm keeping my PTAC's at 68 degree on thermostat authomatically.
Thnks lyla45 for the heat info. 68 degrees in a 1 bedrm which im also getting at $58 will likely mean double for me. Not a fan of the cold (lease starts jan 1st, already gave deposit etc and im all set.
Signifia, n regrds to the market rate unit everythng seems the same (google 70 fleet st brooklyn ny aka 7 dekalb ave brooklyn ).i had choice of a high or low flr bc it was available at the time. The market rate units are mixed in with the lottery units. We share basically everything (entrance, doorman , etc).
Anyone have pictures, sizes, or floor plans for the studios? I have seen plenty of 1br/2br but none of the studios.
My studio is 488 sq ft. Well that's what I was told. I don't know how to correctly measure to be certain but it seems about right. My unit has three closets. Two regular and one with shelves. Quite large bathroom and kitchen, comparative to other new construction studios.
I have my full size bed, sofa, dresser, console table, 2 end tables, coffee table and two counter stools and i still have room to do yoga!

I am supposed to view a studio next week. Any other things you would like to note about your studio/building?
Yup. Pictures are exactly the same.
I'd note that they are building 'Brooklyn's tallest building' right in front of my building...and my window. Cue the construction noises.
I didn't know this prior to signing the lease. I haven't checked in with Winn to find out if they knew about the construction or not. If they did, shame on them for not disclosing. If they did not, it's unfortunate they weren't properly informed about the building's environment.
Would knowing have changed my decision to move in? Maybe. Maybe not. I would have appreciated the opportunity to choose though.
I just got a notice for an interview for this Thursday for a middle income 2 bedroom. It sounds like this may be for the wait list though. It sounds like all the apartments are filled..
I have a middle income 2 bed. The building is amazing, your very lucky if you get picked. The city target just opening downstairs and the supernarket in there is great. It has everything you need. I can't wait for the Trader Joe's and Dekalb market hall to open.
As for the heating and electric, me and my family keep everything around 78 degrees. I rented a new building in fort green before I came here. My electric bill in my old place was between $200 and $400 a month depending on the season. Here at city point for my 950sqft apartment my bill hasn't been over $100 at a solid 78 degrees every other day. Granted I have 2 nest thermostats that help me conserve when I'm not around. Compared to what I was paying previously for electricity I'm ecstatic.
The market rate units are mixed in throughout the building. I think every apartment has a great view, even the units on the 5th floor have a nice view. From my place I can see the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.
Suffice to say I am never leaving lol
