Homey pre-war community
Former Tenant
Pros:
It’s a lovely beaux arts building on a beautiful historic street; surprisingly quiet despite being a block west of the Mt Sinai emergency room (no ambulances go past because 17th st runs E-W). Elevator and laundry in building, all in working order. Nice thick soundproof walls and friendly neighbors!
Cons:
Management sometimes needs to be bugged a few times to respond/deal with issues (so far, a broken overhead light and one mouse sighting that have now been fixed). Sometimes the trash and recycling piles up in the basement a bit much the day or two before trash day, but nothing super gross.
Advice to owner:
Invest in revamping your website (currently broken) and adding a digital portal for rent payments!

Just don’t move here despite the price
Former Tenant
Pros:
Cheaper rent for many reasons…
Cons:
Mice infestation, frequent heat and hot water outages with little notice, basement is disgusting and mice ridden with open trash cans and cardboard boxes. Avoid at all cost
Advice to owner:
Clean your building and act like you care about the tenants

Good building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good water pressure, management was generally responsive, especially for emergency situations, great location, good heating, overall good building to live in
Cons:
Loud pipes, older building, sometimes slow response on issues but with a follow up or two it was addressed, rent payments must be mailed / no online portal to submit issues or make payments. We had some bugs but nothing out of the ordinary for what you'd expect in an NYC apt.
Advice to owner:
Consider new flooring for the kitchen, new appliances. Overall good building to live in!
