Good location... but def some issues
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, close to the subway
Cons:
The repairs they do to this building is pretty wild, complete patch ups when the ceiling comes down, never really addressing leaks.
I spoke to a neighbor once who told me someone broke into their apartment but didn't steal anything, the super and the property owner doesn't seem to care. Seemed like a very bizarre situation to me.
Packages get stolen all the time.

AVOID. SHITTY MANAGEMENT.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, thick walls
Cons:
Street traffic, noisy street, it can take a while to get any substantial repairs done. Many of the fixes are just patches not fundamental repairs. For example, upon knowing a building inspector was coming they simply painted over mold in the bathroom. It takes pressure to get things done the right way and even then sometimes it feels like an uphill battle. Management seems more
Focused on making the building alluring to new, shorter term tenants, through glossy but shoddy renovations, than truly fixing anything but that is a well-work tale in NYC at this point.
Many tenants are slobs about trash and I feel sorry for the maintenance crew who is responsible for cleaning up after them.
