    Can't beat the location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The Superintendent and family responds promptly.
    Hallways, laundry, trash areas are always clean.
    Pest control sign up sheet monthly.
    Cons:
    Old NYC buildings and their never ending heat problems. Winters goes from bundling up indoors to dry blasting all your sinus cavities.
    Slow elevator.
    Old and not enough laundry machines.
    Packages gets frequently stolen, mostly from strangers getting into the lobby.
    Over 2 years ago
    Basic building, no perks, not for long-term
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location isn't horrible, some units are definitely good (highly variable from unit to unit), people seem nice
    Cons:
    Not very clean (common areas like basement for laundry is right next to the trash and there are rats and just not a great feel), multiple packages have been stolen (almost monthly, and the sign that there is a camera on the premises is a very blatant lie - super told me explicitly there is no camera to check), bugs, super is very nonresponsive.
    Advice to owner:
    Upgrade units that are still very old in nature; try to upgrade building as a whole in ways that make it better for all and not have individual unit owners only focus on their unit
    Over 2 years ago
    Great apartments, poorly managed building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Lots of light, unbeatable location, great rooftop
    Cons:
    Broken laundry machines, stolen packages
    Advice to owner:
    Clean the protect the building
    Over 2 years ago
    Great location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Loved that this building has laundry and an elevator
    Cons:
    The super was kind of mean and the heat was way too hot. They also shut off the water frequently
    Advice to owner:
    No advice for the property owner
