    Quiet but disorganized management
    Former Tenant

    Solid functional place for decent Harlem prices
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Heat is very strong, maybe too strong at times but easy to open window to cool down. Trash is very easy and accessible next to building.
    Cons:
    Noise was surprisingly worse than I thought it would be for being on a quiet street. May have to do with my bedroom location but in general, noise is loud due to lots of siren activity so I use earplugs to sleep.

    Nothing fixed here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location and great neighbourhood
    Cons:
    Management takes months to fix anything. the building door has been broken every months, sometimes we cannot even get out of the building. The ‘fix’ is to tie the door open, then strangers freely walk in and steal packages.
    Advice to owner:
    Care about your tenants
