    Solid Apartment, Plumbing issues.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice roof access and generally cheap prices. good living room size
    Cons:
    Bugs can be an issue if you are not very on top of it. My bathroom ceiling has caved in several times.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the plumbing, there are clearly issues in a variety of ways with the plumbing.

    The best deal in NYC
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, all units have dishwashers with true living rooms and bedrooms with galley kitchens. Landlord takes a while to respond but if you keep reaching out he eventually will. Super is a sweetheart.
    Cons:
    Located right next to a police precinct, interpret that how you want. All rooms are pretty small. Constant trouble with the intercom. Rent must be mailed out by check. No online portal. History of mice and roaches in the building but they’re good about bringing in exterminators.

    Wood floors, tall ceilings, considerate neighbors, good location.

    Walkup, stairwell never cleaned, apartment unclean on move-in, water pressure fluctuates, no pest problems in my apartment but heard of mice in other apartments.

    don’t rent here
    Former Tenant

    Would not recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Gramercy is a cute neighborhood. Easy access to uptown and downtown. Safe location
    Cons:
    The management is horrible. The super has not come to fix our stove or a hole in our bathroom ceiling and it has been over a month since we asked for the second time. The owner is very condescending and unhelpful. We’ve had mice and roaches this past year and they don’t seem to care at all. The building is in awful shape. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re planning to tear it down soon
    Advice to owner:
    Treat your residents and the building with more respect
