WOW! Manhattanites eat your heart out! LOL
In all seriousness:
1. Thank you!
2. What took you guys so long to take advantage of the Bronx's open spaces! It's about time!
Mil gracias para tan importante informacion Ed!
It's a shame that Peter Fine/Atlantic Development are under indictment for being a bunch of crooks...
Its a shame that most construction jobs were low wage & the pedominate work force were imported from overseas to undercut wages here in the bronx. Development that does nothing but set back wages and working conditions for labor in NYC is bad for us all. Very unimpressive project when you factor in the real cost to us all.
Shame that no good paying jobs went to Bronx residents. Another example of a greedy developer using political influence to make a fortune at the expense of Local residents. Wonder if next year the site will show pictures of the electrical problems, leaks and sewer backups.
It is coming out nice but theres alot of illegal activities going on with that contruction company.
Its a shame.
IVE SEEN THEM SHRED APARTMENT APPLICATIONS SO A REALTOR CAN COME IN A MAKE BIG BUCKS. THESE PEOPLE ARE NO GOOD.
hey, i am one the super low paid construction workers on that job, and quit because it's not even enough to live off of, plus no benefits, paid off the books, etc etc. what a rip off each and every contractor on that entire job is.
Listen I have never seen any construction company work so slow than these guys, every time I pass by there the workers are eating, smoking, hanging out or on there cell phones it really is a joke that the supervisors are letting these guys get away with this.
I am very worried because alot of those construction workers there are alcoholics, The other day I went to the grocery store across the street Samantha's deli grocery and I over heard the man behind the counter saying that he fells sorry for the people that are waiting to move there because all the workers since the minute he opens the store till late in the afternoon they are buying beer so there are working drunk.
I LOVE THE APARTMENTS, I MEAN I LOVE THE KITCHEN AND THE BATHROOM, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LIVINGROOM AND THE BEDROOM APARTMENTS FOR BORICUA VILLAGE. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO POST THE THE PICTURES? FOR THE BEDROOMS.
WOW BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS, BUT I KEEP SENDING FOR AN APPLICATION AND THEY WON'T SEND ME ONE RIGHT AWAY, THEY ARE PLAYING GAMES AT THE OFFICE AND STOP TAKING PEOPLE SELF ADDRESS ENEVELOPES I HAVE BEEN SENDING FOR DIFFERNT APPLICATIONS FOR OVER A MONTH AND I HAVE NOT RECIEVE ONE YET. AND WHAT IS UP WITH THEM POSTING PICTURES OF THE LIVINGROOMS AND BEDROOMS FRO BORICUA VILLAGE, COME ON SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE.
I FINALLY I GOT MY APPLICATIONS FOR BORICUA VILLAGE. YEAH!!! BUT WHEN ARE Y'ALL GOING TO SHOW PICTURES FOR THE BEDROOMS FOR BORICUA VILLAGE???
SOMEONE NEEDS TO CALL NEWS 12 OR FOX 5 NEWS ON THERE PROCESS OF APPLICATIONS AND PROCESSING THESE APARTMENTS, THEY ARE REALLY TAKING TO LONG AND ALSO, THEY REALLY ONLY SHOW YOU WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO SEE THATS NOT RIGHT, YOU CAN GO ELSE WHERE AND GET INTO A APARTMENT QUICKER THAN THESE PEOPLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INTO TO TROUBLE OVER THERE AT THAT MANAGEMENT.
Wow, a bunch of idiots read this blog, huh? So I have no comment on the construction workers - don't know anything about who was employed and how or if they drink on or off the job. LOL. What I do know is that the application process was thorough - actually pretty invasive. I felt as if I were going before a proctologist. They wanted 6 months of checking and savings statements as well as 6 pay stubs on top of the credit check. Due to some irregularity they asked for the documents again a few months later. I'm a city employee so I think I got some preference in the lottery system, and even so it took about 7 months to finally get the call we were waiting for. It has been a hassle but I am finally in. Well not really, I'm waiting for the move
-in appointment which is right around the corner. Can't wait.
To Anonymous who got the apartment at Boricua Village...please contact me as I would like to interview you for the blog. Welcome2Melrose!

WHEN IS BORICUA VILLAGE APARTMENTS GOING TO SHOW MORE Pics of the bedrooms instead of floorplans?
wow what a location to put such a building surrounded by drug dealers, drug users, shoot outs occuring on a daily basis and illegal activity. ill stay in midtown manhattan paying 1200 a month at least i dont have to constantly watch my back or my wife and kids. good luck to all and always look over your shoulder to be extra safe of who's following you and teach your wife and kid that. god bless
this building is a crock of SHIT. Shoddy construction, bullshit renderings and a completely incompetent staff. I hate living here and this neighborhood is disgusting. They sold us a pipe dream with those drawings and nothing looks even remotely like it should. for the $ I am paying here I should be living somewhere better. Shout out to Roger Job the shady "operations manager" who hardly does his job and has the worst attitude ever.
Shorty Bee and others....I am investigating the Melrose development and its actually return value to the community for the hundreds of millions of tax dollars used to subsidize the development....if any one would like to share their experience, I am producing a film on affordable housing development in NYC and would love to speak to you.
