Crazy amount of rats + unresponsive ownner
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, close to everything

Haven't fixed the hot water in months. There are way too many rats, and they haven't fixed it in months.

Coachroaches & smelly staircase
Former Tenant
Pros:
You're right at the crossroads of Chinatown and Little Italy. Tons of good food. Everything from truly delicious & cheap Dim Sum to a fancy Italian dinner within one block radius.
Cons:
Tourists everywhere outside (and they walk SO. SLOWLY.) You can sometimes hear the noise from tourists on Mulberry singing karaoke. Oh, also, cockroaches in the bathroom...
Advice to owner:
It's only worth it to live here if you REALLY REALLY love Chinese food / Dim Sum. Great eats for everyone's budget. (not so much the case for the Italian food)

Decent building
Former Tenant
Pros:
My apt is renovated.
Easy to throw trash out downstairs behind the stairs.
Heat works well, I’m never cold. In fact I’m usually hot.
They turned down the water pressure of the toilet to “save money” but I just turned it back and it’s back to normal! Otherwise have fun flushing 3x for just pee.
I negotiated a rent from $3400 to $2500. I had weekly laundry taken off as well. Finally NY landlords are desperate so use it all the way!

Cons:
Loud as fuck because Of the damn Italian restaurants singing “dancing queen” 4x a week to dumb screeching girls.
Super responds but won’t show up till 2-3 weeks later unless you create panic. Hes a nice guy though, easygoing.
Street is loud early in the morning. I live on the north side so if that’s an issue watch out.

Advice to owner:
Install better windows to keep out noise. Which they won’t do but hey, I tried.
You tried to save money by decreasing the water pressure of the toilet. It wastes more water Bc ppl end up flushing more times. Dumb move.
