    Decidedly average to below average
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location, landlord's office is on same street.
    Cons:
    Pretty shoddy work - repairs are visibly cheap and the building is old. The landlord's nephew lives in the building and is technically the super, but he's very incompetent and not very responsive. Can't emphasize enough - the management of the building is just very cheap.
    Advice to owner:
    Spend more time inspecting work of the contractors you hire, and hire a professional super who is diligent about the job. Take more pride in the building.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighbors are amazing
    Street is clean and quiet
    Location is perfect: close to restaurants, park, and subway
    Cons:
    Management is poor at responding
    Issues are poorly managed (pests are persistent, gas was shut off for 2 months with no help from management, etc)
    Advice to owner:
    Value your tenants
