    Only if you have patience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Closet space
    Large windows
    Decent sized bedrooms (some can run quite large, others on the smaller side)
    Pest control has scheduled monthly visits to the building
    Cons:
    A couple of roaches seen (expected on first floor)
    Mice-There are definitely mice in the building. Over three years we’ve seen 3 in our apartment. Maintenance is responsive about bringing someone in to patch the holes..you just have to find them.

    Decent building UES
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Well kept entrance, management was reachable and never had any pest issues
    Cons:
    No cons, this building for the price was good
    Over 1 year ago
    Poor Management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great water pressure
    Pest control company and carpenter are nice
    Cons:
    roaches and mice
    Over 2 years ago
    Sweltering heat and rats
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location (close to the train, grocery, laundry etc), virtual doorman
    Cons:
    So many rats, heat is sweltering hot (had to sleep with windows open all winter bc it was unbearable and ended up sick a lot as a result), loud- ppl are in and out of the main doors which slam loudly all night long, rent renewal at over 75% increase, somehow “lost”
    My security deposit ( a certified check).
    Advice to owner:
    No one is going to pay $2800/month for a studio apartment in a non luxury/no amenity building. Install sound barriers or blockers on the front doors.

    A great apartment for a new New Yorker
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This building is pretty clean, generally kept up well, neighbors are friendly and respectful, video doorman no pests, and no issues with mail/packages.
    Cons:
    No laundry in building (I believe some units have in unit but mine does not), the garbage out front of the building is a bit of an eyesore, management and maintenance can be a little hard to get to at times.
