    Decent for the location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, on-site super
    Cons:
    Noise (due to location), persistent rodent problem
    Over 1 year ago
    Good for Pre-War Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The property managers were very kind and extremely responsive. In fact, they allowed flexibility with our leases etc. The stairs are very wide, so easy to move. The location is prime!
    Cons:
    There was a roach problem, that despite all tries wouldn't go! Depending on which street your facing and where your apartment is located, it is extremely loud (facing Houston St.)
    Advice to owner:
    Gut renovate to remove the roaches
    Over 1 year ago
    Good Building, 👎 Landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super is great and management company is very responsive
    Cons:
    Packages stolen, management was very confrontational
    Advice to owner:
    Dont do illegal things to your tenants
    Over 2 years ago
    basic building, happy living
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Jose the super is super attentive and helpful with maintenance big and small and he keeps the building in good shape (it is rather old so he does the best considering its condition). I've never had issues with packages being stolen and the property management is pretty responsive. There is also an exterminator every other month or so.
    Cons:
    On the 5th floor, the heat did not kick in so there were some pretty cold days.
