Great management in a great building in a great neighborhood
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is always clean and have never had any issues with the building. The owners are very responsive, and the live in super is really helpful.
Cons:
Not much to complain about, except that 2 of the 4 washers are finicky and always breaking. The water pressure isn't the best, but you get used to it.

So much potential, so little care
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building has great potential and a great location.
Cons:
This building is neglected by its owners. If they put a little money into the place, the building would be fantastic.
Advice to owner:
Stop nickel and diming.

An okay place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
-Nice location
-Apartment was newly renovated on move-in
-No pest issues (though plenty of dead roaches in the basement and stairwells during the warmer months)
-Minimal maintenance issues
-Nice super
-Laundry in basement

-Nice super
-Laundry in basement
Cons:
-Owners can be incredibly rude and rigid
-Stiflingly hot in the winter months
-Elevator is extremely slow (they just replaced it a few months ago and the new elevator is slower than the last; the replacement also took nearly two months during which time tenants were forced to live in a walk-up, though we did get a reduction in rent during that time).
-At the time of this writing, repairs are being done to the building facade, which was recently deemed unsafe by the DOB, and as a result there is a lot of construction noise during the day.
