    Quiet-ish building in a nice location
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, close to the train, lots of businesses nearby
    Cons:
    Rats in building, sketchy neighbors
    Over 2 years ago
    Waters cold always
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quick info midtown. Close to Columbia and Central Park
    Cons:
    Dirty building with mice, roaches, and always hot water / heat issues building wide.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being cheap

    For Your Own Sanity Stay Away
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    cheap, inexpensive, low-priced, (and location but read the cons and it makes all these pros pretty worthless)
    Cons:
    I don’t even think I’d have enough room to explain how terrible the property managers here were. First it was Archrock Group which halfway through my lease stopped managing the property (probably because they had their hands full with a looming lawsuit from tenants at another nearby apartment building), and then it was Clearstone Group, just as bad and seedy.

    Bugs, rats, leaky roofs, lack of cleanliness, stolen mail, theft, lies, bait and switch, no repairs, lack of communication, obscure organization, flooding AND I never got my security deposit back from these crooks (I often think about the amount of money they must make just from keeping people’s security deposits).
    Advice to owner:
    Just leave this line of work. Stop stealing from the very tenants who keep a roof over your head and food on your table.
