If you ignore the roaches, it's fine

Pros

I lived here 2019 - 2021 - it was cheap, close to the subway, laundry in the building, and had quiet neighbors.

Cons

Roaches - roaches in my apartment, as well as the laundry room & trash areas.

Okay…could be better

Pros

Maintenance guy is great and always available. I NEVER hear my neighbors. Very quiet

Cons

If you live facing the street it’s super loud. Worst thing is if you take a shower around 6-8pm there’s like no hot water.

Advice to the owners

Fix the water and clean the elevators they stink
