Seems great until you actually live here
Former Tenant
Pros:
The light is amazing, the rent is affordable, lots of space, great location
Cons:
Where to start. I was so excited to live here for the reasons above. Then starts the noise. One apartment in particular seemed like a crackhouse that let in sketchy visitors all the time and began partying outside blasting music until 4/5/6 in the morning. Then starts the trash smell. The management of trash in this building is awful. Almost every time you walk in it smells. The floors/stairs in the building rarely get cleaned; I had to ask the super when they would be cleaned because they were disgusting. Then what really added the cherry on top - the aforementioned neighbor lit an air mattress on fire in his apartment causing the entire building to have to evacuate. If they evicted this neighbor I think that would help a lot, but still the building is not well managed.
Advice to owner:
Listen to the residents to address issues

Noisy,problematic neighbor,Summer extreme heat,Trash problem. Good light&layout
Former Tenant
Pros:
The views are excellent when facing the park, and the two-bedroom layout is highly functional.
Cons:
The area is very noisy due to student neighbors, street traffic, and weekend concerts in the park from spring to fall. There's also a problematic neighbor on the second floor. The building suffers from poor insulation, leading to extreme heat in the summer. As for the lease, my first contract was for 12 months, but it was reduced to 11 months in the subsequent years without clear communication.
Advice to owner:
Improve responsiveness to tenants' concerns. Address the garbage issue in the first-floor lobby promptly, take action to prevent package theft, and deal with neighbors who are causing drug-related problems.

Terrible slum lords, great super. Don’t live here. Unless you like vomit. Yay!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location. Used to be a quaint neighborhood, no longer.
Cons:
Filthy hallways, unresponsive management, mice, bugs, smells like garbage all the time. Drug dealing. Used to be a nice building. Disgusting restaurant garbage downstairs. Citi-Urban Mgmt should be ashamed of how they have let the building go. I feel bad for the super. He has almost no help and it’s a large building. Louder than bombs, sounds like a war zone.
Advice to owner:
Sell the property to someone who cares. You have failed.
