    New Management is Garbage
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Old management (Rabina) was attentive and reasonable with rent. Super is pretty nice, 3/4 doormen are awesome
    Cons:
    New management is a joke. No responses or zero responses. Rent increase of over 9% every year. Even after heavy construction for 2 months, and pest problem.
    Advice to owner:
    New management company

    Nice Apartment Building, but maybe not worth the money
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Big units, great location. Doormen are sweet and very responsive. All appliances worked.
    Cons:
    Basically can’t control the heat at all. No control over how overly or underly warm you are during the winter. Can be loud with people on the weekends.
    Advice to owner:
    Some control of the heat per unit

    great place to live but not obsessed
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doormans are all very friendly
    Location is great and close to subways!
    Cons:
    No central air and Amsterdam billiards below can be a little disruptive.

    The super is one of the worst people I’ve ever met and is so rude to everyone he encounters over the smallest things.
    Advice to owner:
    Update lighting, FIRE the super
