    Terrible Management, Good Location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, good size apartments and natural light. Appliances work well. Super is nice but can be hard to get a hold of. Well-priced for what it is.
    Cons:
    Management WILL NOT respond or fix anything. Apartment is freezing and they do just enough to not break the law (and sometimes do break the law), so beware the winter. The radiator comes on every morning at 530am sounding like someone is hammering and then turns off for rest of day.

    Building staircase is spiral and very difficult to move into. Closets / storage space are extremely minimal.
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to your tenants and fix complaints Replace your heating system.

    Former Tenant

    Location, building architecture

    Very cool building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location and price could not be beat, apt was nicely renovated
    Cons:
    It’s an old building but the landlord took care of whatever issues appeared.
    Advice to owner:
    Office is hit or miss- one of the ladies who answers the phone is a bit rude
