From Beautiful to Horrific
Former Tenant
Pros:
When I first moved into this building in 1956, it was clean with brass mailboxes so shiny you could see your face in them and beautiful murals in the hallway on the first floor.
Cons:
When the building was sold to Elizabeth Weiss, it became a slum dwelling with poor heating, dirty hallways and those polished mailboxes became rusty.
Advice to owner:
I moved out in 1969. Building was sold, renovated & now permanently closed. Wonder why?

Great location, management slow
Former Tenant
Pros:
- great location
- rooftop access (technically not allowed but everyone went up anyway)
- we had the apartment with the private deck
- friendly neighbors
- couldn't hear neighbors in our apartment
- nice (but sometimes not too helpful) super
- allowed for rent reduction during covid
Cons:
- management was slow to respond to any issues and when they did reply the work was pretty bad
- we didn't have a working fridge for a month and only when we said we wouldn't pay rent did they replace it
- garbage area was a bit of a shit show, oftentimes had rats
- packages sometimes got stolen, and despite there being a "working" camera, management said they couldn't do anything about it; we believed it was strangers who got in vs. neighbors though
Advice to owner:
- update rent payment system
- would be helpful if management was more responsive

Shady management, gross building
Former Tenant
Pros:
I guess the rent was decent and the location was good. Washer/Dryer in unit was nice.
Cons:
Management never responds to calls and rarely returns emails, stairwell had trash and hadn't been cleaned in years, trash was thrown under the stairs which is definitely not up to code, unit had bugs, bathtub was incredibly small, management never returned my security deposit
Advice to owner:
Dorothy should learn how to use a phone and write a clear email

This bulding is not recommended, you are warned
Former Tenant
Pros:
The area is good
Cons:
The supposedly renovated apartments do not have noise insulation between floors and the gap causes the footsteps noise, music to be heard even louder, as a result of that and to the inconsiderate who cares little about their neighbors you will have moments of great disgust, the heater pipes make a lot of noise and the leaks are constant since the repairs are not supervised and apparently they are made with cheap labor will causes them to be frequent, the garbage is thrown on the floor and not in the trashcan, there is a super but he doesn’t live in the area. the cell phone antennas on the roof generate interference, and apparently there is an arrangement with spectrum (Time Warner) so you can’t use Verizon or optimun not Dish, not Direct TV, ….. nothing else only Spectrum.
Advice to owner:
Fix those cons issues
