Hi Everyone,
I moved in yesterday in Stuytown and exhaustion is an understatement.
First thing first, I came to pick up my keys on Friday. It was my 1st time ever being in Stuytown. I just had such a great feelings, good vibes all around.
The welcome center was very adamant that I wasn’t allowed to visit my apt on Friday as my lease only started yesterday. They insisted that I should have requested with Susan. After insisting ( very kindly), they accepted and activated my key card starting Friday, so that I could enter my building and visit my unit.
I was a little bit disappointed by the size. It didn’t feel like 944 sq foot. It felt small at 1st glance.
It’s only when my furniture where in the apt yesterday and I still had room that I realized that indeed, the apt is quite big.
I am happy with everything, the kitchen is small but look nice. The finishes are nice. I wish the bathroom was a little bit bigger. As many reported before, the paint on the wall looks cheap. Overall, I am really really really happy in the apt and the area where I am.
The view from my bedroom is the highway but other rooms have a nicer view.
Thanks everyone for answering my questions, being so supportive and sharing my excitement with me. This forum is the best.

Sorry to bother… for people who moved in Stuytown 2 bedrooms. Do you have any light in the bedrooms? I have no chandelier- no place to put a light bulb, absolutely nothing.
I have lights in the living room- hallway- kitchen… but nothing at all in the bedrooms. Before I go ahead and buy a lamp… I wanted to check with you guys. Thanks

That's how they are unfortunately, you will need lamps and/or track lighting. It's annoying that they don't have any overhead lights.
hey, congratulations I am log#58XX And was told today no inventory is available yet at my range of income may I ask what is the rent amount?
thanks
This is form CATNYC's previous posting:
I'm at 245 Ave C! The rent right at the 35% mark for me. Its $1700 + $95 for the AC units. A lot of offers for 2 beds are going out right now. I was alerted by Syed on Monday 10/3 that a unit was ready for me and I just needed to wait for the leasing agent, Susan. I bothered them a little and told them that I needed to let my management know when I will need to break the lease and Susan sent over the offer pretty soon after! Hope you get some good news next week

Yaya,
I am so glad you are settling in. I scheduled to pick up my keys one day before my lease starts and I was planning to check the apartment. Should I contact Susan?

Hi all! We are doing our big move a week from today. We go in and out frequently with small stuff and are getting used to the rhythm of it. I bought a few rugs which are already down
I have a question: what is the preferred method to hang pictures on the walls in Stuytown? The walls appear to be concrete, I’d be wary of driving a nail through that.
I should hopefully have some good news early next week!
Since there are so many complaints about the paint job, would it make sense to paint before moving in? Or would the new paint chip away from the old paint? My son will want his room to be blue and I'll probably want to paint the living room.
For those signing a lease recently, is there any indication how long the apartment is guaranteed to remain rent stabilized? Thanks.
