Good value for the area
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very clean, no bugs, very responsive super, updated finishes in the kitchen, pet friendly to cats unofficially
Cons:
Only thing I didn't like is that even though the surrounding area is really nice with stuyvesant park, there would sometimes be harmless, unhoused people who would loiter on the stoop at night. Never felt unsafe, but as a woman not ideal.

Spacious but problems with pests and cleanliness
Former Tenant
Pros:
The rooms are quite spacious and we were able to host decent sized gatherings. Neighbors are friendly.
Cons:
There was a roach problem, mostly in the first month. It was mostly kept at bay by exterminator visits but we saw a couple after the first month too. The stairs and common area sometimes have food lying around and it takes a couple days to be cleaned. Old noisy appliances.

Old Building with Pests
Former Tenant

High Ceilings, Spacious considering the rent

No frills East Village living
Former Tenant
Pros:
Viking management is always on top of their stuff! They also never increased my rent. Some of the old rent controlled tenants have been there since the 70s or earlier and are cool characters… but the younger people always seem to be smoking marijuana in the building.
Cons:
No control of heat. Sometimes would be 40 degrees in my bedroom in the middle of the night. I would call 311 but nothing ever seems to have changed. Also sometimes the hallway smelled like people peed in it. The area has kind of gone to shit with homeless people all around. And homeless people were apparently living on our roof all summer last year.
Advice to owner:
Keep not raising rent. Paint the chipped walls in the entryway. Clean the common area floors more often. Better security system maybe video would be helpful to see who people are letting in when they buzz… I think a lot of homeless people are getting buzzed in unknowingly and stealing packages or using the alley as a restroom
