    Avoid at All Cost
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location. Near Columbia campus
    Cons:
    Rodent infested, owner do not care about maintenance, dirty, not safe, no elevator
    Over 1 year ago
    Don't live here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location next to columbia and other amenities
    Cons:
    incredibly non transparent rental and renovation process, gave us our apartment 10 DAYS LATE, put a "sight unseen clause" despite us viewing the apartment. Washer and dryer in unit had been advertised but it was broken the whole time and they did not compensate us for it. lots of cockroaches, poor finishings, bad renovation, bad building maintenance (our doorbell was broken for a long time and they would not fix it). We had a mold infestation and the super came into our apartment and said he would just be fixing the smoke detector (that does not work) he then proceeded to paint over the mold, splashing paint over all of our bathroom belongings.

    Not worth the price
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The size of apartment, in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher
    Cons:
    So many roaches and mice. Rats surrounding and possibly in building. Lobby and common areas not kept in good condition. Bad paint jobs throughout building and in apartment and some with possible lead contamination. Packages opened and stolen. Apartment didn't have gas for 3 months so were left to use electric burners. Slow and unresponsive building management.
    Advice to owner:
    Clean up and renovate the building. Hire new building super. Actually deal with pest problems. Upgrade apartment appliances.

    It hasn't collapsed while I was inside
    Cons:
    Rats everywhere
    Bugs everywhere
    Dogs piss all over inside of building
    Useless super
    Unresponsive management
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the building to someone that isn't clueless.
