Easy Hell’s Kitchen
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is central for easy access to all things Manhattan. 24 hour doorman , elevators are a plus. My apartment has good sized windows.
Cons:
We have had issues with mice. The bathroom has typical fast done work - small sink space.
Advice to owner:
Keep rodents under control.

Overall good, minus multiple power outages
Former Tenant
Pros:
Overall good building for what you pay. Very friendly and helpful 24/7 doormen, quick to fix any issues w maintenance staff, laundry in building (although out for 3 months), easy access to multiple subway lines, 2 elevators, decent space given price. not a “luxury” building - shared spaces are a bit dirty and dingy, especially the basement where laundry room and trash is, but very manageable. you get a lot of the amenities (albeit not as nice) of one without the $$$.
Cons:
Experienced multiple 48 hr power outages where the building deflected responsibility (Coned told a different story). Property manager refused to provide any compensation for the lack of livable conditions (no power, hot water, lost hundreds of $$$ of groceries).
Can be very loud from 8th Ave traffic. Be prepared to walk through crowds to get anywhere during peak tourism seasons.

Mice and rat problems
Former Tenant
Pros:
Pretty good location
Cons:
I had recurring mice and rat problems over the course of living there in 2020. I asked the management to do something about it - they sent the super to just put some glue traps. Caught mice and a giant rat with those glue traps, but they just kept coming. At some point, the building management told me to just suck it up cause they weren’t going to do anything else.
Advice to owner:
The units affected by the rodent problem need to be completely renovated to get rid of the nests that have been built inside the walls

Great location, nothing fancy
Former Tenant
Pros:
Fantastic location - close to tons of subways and the great food on Ninth Ave. The guys at the front desk are great if you take the time to speak with them, and they make the apt building feel like a friendly space, even if I never talked to my neighbors. Has locked bike storage in basement, even if it’s not ideal. Two elevators, which is nice.
Cons:
It was pretty loud in my bedroom (just off of Eighth), and not a lot of natural sunlight in the main living room. It’s not a fancy building and the laundry room is a bit gross (in basement close to
trash etc etc).

Cons:
The laundry room & trash area is not the most pleasant experience.
Pest issue can be a problem.
Plumbing is also a bit of a problem in my apartment but not sure if it’s unique.
