    An OK building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s rent controlled, neighbors are decent and close to the multiple subway lines
    Cons:
    Can be dirty, old and needs updating
    Over 1 year ago
    Corners Cut on Issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, rent stabilized apartments
    Cons:
    Multiple water line issues with ceiling leaks patched and never really fixed. Took forever to get a real fix, which ultimately never happened. I moved out before it was addressed
    Advice to owner:
    Stop cutting corners and take care of the property you own for your and your tenants' sake.

    Half-Done
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice location. Management company handles issues after you report them to 311.
    Cons:
    They provide only the BARE MINIMUM of heat. The super is nowhere to be found on weekends, so if there's an emergency, you'll be dealing with it. The management company often is unresponsive or sends canned responses to serious complaints.
