    You Get What You Pay For
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Affordable
    Close to multiple subway lines
    Big closets
    Lots of natural light (south facing windows)
    Cons:
    Very noisy due to St Marks bars/restaurants
    Heat broke on multiple occasions
    Saw roaches every 3-6 months
    Super is extremely rude and condescending
    3 months ago
    Bed bugs and heat/hot water cutoff
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super is responsive and helpful, little to no street noise even though it's on a busy block, great location next to tompkins
    Cons:
    Had repeated bed bug infestations, heat and hot water was unavailable for multiple days in a row in the middle of January, leasing company was unresponsive and unhelpful, our lease stated there had been no bed bugs in the unit in the year before we moved in but city records we got from the housing department proved otherwise
    Advice to owner:
    Renovate and get rid of the bed bugs living in the walls and caulk all walls and baseboards so that they can't re-enter after extermination

    Great location… awful management and pests
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location
    Cheaper rent
    Good size bedrooms
    Cons:
    Unresponsive management
    Bed bugs
    Lied on lease about bed bug history
    Heat and hot water off in January for weeks
    Trash fly infestation
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your tenants

    Great price & location but ongoing issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartments on the back side of the building hardly get any noise from the busy street out front, and the block is very fun, especially during the past few summers when it has been closed to cars during the weekends.
    Cons:
    Property management is non-responsive (the super has been responsive and helpful though, just unable to address many of the issues we need property management response for). And there have been multiple pest issues both in our apartment and in the garbage area (inside the building, not enclosed)

    East Village Charm
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    If you are an NYU student or desire to live in the east village the location is everything. Close down street during the summer weekends so there are no cars. Right next to Tompkins square park as well as many great bars and restaurants. Relatively close to the 6,4, and L trains. Despite not having modern appliances the apartments are well kept and in fair shape. The virtual doorman and locks work very well compared to other apartments systems. Young and old neighbors all very nice.
    Cons:
    There are mice and cockroaches, was told exterminator comes around once a month but have not received a knock on the door or notice. The location is a double edged sword - you can hear music all night long especially on the street side of the building. Water pipes run through the rooms in the building and make very loud noises. Walls are thin.
    Advice to owner:
    The upkeep in the stairwells could be better. Mud, dirt, and trash are often there for days on end. A more organized package

    Do not recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Love the location
    Cons:
    Poor management response, poor quality of units, no outlets, pests, caving walls
    Advice to owner:
    Remodel units to at least be up to code and to respond to tenants timely
