Great Apt with a Few Drawbacks
Pros
Gorgeous apartments, spacious, AMAZING super, lobby and laundry area is kept clean, most neighbors are nice
Cons
Gets very hot in the winter. Floors/ceilings are paper thin and you can hear everything. Landlord and real estate company suck big time- owner is next to impossible to get in contact with and there's no property management company.

A HARLEM GEM
Pros
The building was built in late 1920s so I liked the solid walls (in the original apartments as recently some of them have been split). My apartment is quite spacious. The common areas, grounds and garbage areas are well maintained. There is an exterminator that comes somewhat regularly.
Cons
The landlord does not like to repairs or take into consideration natural wear and tear. This includes mandatory painting based on NY law. A new elevator was installed which took months to complete. It’s new but unusually slow. There are always pipes bursting because it is an older building so expect water issues. The laundry room rarely has more than 50% of the 4 washers and 4 dryers working at the same time without issue.
