    DO NOT LIVE HERE
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Honestly not much. The price is okay, it’s rent controlled.
    Cons:
    Terribly managed. Smells like smoke. Common areas are disgusting. Poor construction. Roof leaks. The super NEVER responds. And when you can finally get ahold of him, he will say he’s coming by to look at whatever the problem is and then never shows.
    Advice to owner:
    Manage your property? It’s not that hard

    Infested with Cockroaches
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    New construction, washer/dryer in unit, close to the subway and lots of great restaurants, quiet building
    Cons:
    My apartment was infested with cockroaches for over a year as a result of my next door neighbor. It was an absolute nightmare, and the super was fairly dismissive and at one point, he even said he didn’t believe me. It didn’t help that we had a revolving door of supers. While the building had monthly pest control services conducted, this didn’t do much if the problematic tenants wouldn’t let pest control enter.

    The problem was finally solved after nearly six months of constant texts and phone calls, when the neighbor agreed to let pest control “bomb” their apartment twice. I also identified where the pests were coming from: behind the washing machine and had the super seal it.
    Advice to owner:
    When your tenant has a concern: believe them, and act rapidly.
