Ridiculous Unresponsive Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, nice neighbors, okay-ish super
Cons:
Spent 5-6 weeks without a working fridge because the owner and super didn't believe it was broken. Wasted hundreds of dollars of groceries bc they waited so long to replace, and then offered zero compensation for the wasted money.

When given more than 120 days notice to renew lease, the mgmt and owner continuously said theyd send paperwork, then absolutely ghosted, and stopped responding even to questions about when we needed to be out of the apartment for the new tenants they presumably lined up without telling us. Completely unprofessional and ridiculous to leave your tenants without other arrangements by ghosting 3 weeks before the lease is up.
Advice to owner:
Be upfront with people! If you don't want to renew the lease, say that in April when the renewal was requested.

Okay for price
Former Tenant
Pros:
Live in super was great and even held packages for me. Amazing location that was quiet at night. A bit dark if you’re in the internal side.
Cons:
Unresponsive property owner. Packages stolen and I saw my open boxes in the trash… rodents on first floor (exterminator came but still…). Thin walls and door didn’t touch the floor… so I could hear my neighbors and the hallway. No peephole, my doorbell didn’t work.

Great location - not fancy but was adequate
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location. Friendly rent stabilized neighbors. Great hot water and water pressure.
Cons:
Dirty hallways. Generally not pro active management.
Advice to owner:
Hallways and coming areas should be much cleaner.

Needs serious work!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, good overhead lighting
Cons:
There are mice in the building! I’ve seen with my own eyes and the garbage disposal is very badly managed. There’s also no lighting on the stairwell which is ridiculous. Also generally unclean hallways
Advice to owner:
Put lighting on the stairwells and invest in some serious pest control.

BEWARE, YE WHO ENTER HERE
Former Tenant
Pros:
Water pressure was fine, location was great
Cons:
It was always filthy in the stairway, it was always exceedingly difficult to get problems fixed, floors in apartment were a mess (they had said they were going to replace before we moved in but didn’t), painted over everything including outlets before we moved in, there was a roach problem, super was rude, mgmt was usually extremely difficult to even get ahold of, etc. I could write a book of all the cons of this place.
