    Solid starter apartment in NYC
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Relatively quiet for the area, solid location
    Cons:
    Things break a lot given how old the building is and the fixes are always patchwork not addressing actual problems. Laundry machines in basement are old and essentially useless, always breaking. Apartment was dirty and needed painting (which the owner refused) upon move-in.
    Advice to owner:
    Address your tenants needs more to prevent turnover

    Decent apartment for young people
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is amazing
    Clean laundry room and lobby/mail area
    Awesome roof access

    Cons:
    Living on the first floor…very loud especially on weekends. Door slamming and screaming upstairs neighbor.
    Had a roach and mouse problem and had to manage on our own due to lack of exterminator responsiveness.

    Bad landlord nice super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quiet, good neighborhood
    Cons:
    Tiny apartment. The landlord never paints the apts, they are assholes who try to nickle and dime for everything
    Advice to owner:
    Paint and clean the apartments before move in
