Garbage and eventually rodents are an issue.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Grear location, near Wash Sq Park and all the subways
Cons:
Management not very responsive. Garbage isn't taken out on the eve of one of the pickup days leaving it overflowing in the bins and with nearby restaurants rodents won't br far behind.
Advice to owner:
Remove the trash on all the appointed days.

218 Thompson Street
Former Tenant
Pros:
All the appliances are recently updated, but not installed well.
Cons:
- Heat was shut off often
- There are cracks in our walls and ceiling that they won't fix or address
- Water pressure is never consistent and we had brown water a few times
- Halls and stairs are never cleaned. Stairs are uneven and unsafe.
- Garbage situation is the worst. Saw mice in the garbage room.

OK College Experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Lots of updated amenities in the unit
- Was relatively quiet save a few times during the lease
- Location is great
- Was relatively quiet save a few times during the lease
- Location is great
Cons:
- We started the lease with no working cooking gas in the building, and it didn’t come back until 4-5 months into our lease and we were barely compensated nor notified before leasing
- Very bad communication with apartment staff, nothing got done unless you heavily pushed for it
- Super refused to give us the paint colour for the walls upon moving out (?) said it was basically our fault if we don’t get the deposit back. Leasing staff ended up saying it was OK and we got the full deposit, but annoying.
- Our fire alarms all got wonky at once and kept going off one night in the middle of the night. They replaced them a week later, and forgot to give us a CO detector, so we didn’t have one for over a month. Also it was so close to the stove every time we cooked it went off (even if it wasn’t smokey), and they refused to move it.

Negligent management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location and the current tenants banding together to face all the nonsense that have befell us in the past year.
Cons:
Management is attempting to gussy up the building to attract high paying tenants. Meanwhile the debris is left in the alleyway for weeks, paint fumes and dust permeate the air. Heat has been spotty thru the winter and response to that is slow.
Advice to owner:
Get a new boiler first and foremost. We seem to have to beg for heat at least once a week in the past few months.
