    A decent home base
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There's a new super in the building who is incredibly responsive and helpful. Thanks to this, repairs happen much more quickly and the overall cleanliness has vastly improved. Neighbors have always been friendly but keep to themselves. The closeness to the subway station is a major plus.
    Cons:
    This wasn't a major issue for me, but this building is right across from a fire department, so there is plenty of firetruck noise. Corporate management can be rude when it's necessary to reach out to them. It's also a walk-up building, which can be difficult for those on higher floors

    Inexpensive but very loud
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap rent
    Good pest control
    Heat always works
    maintenance happens
    Cons:
    A few loud inconsiderate neighbors.
    Trash area isn't well kept
    laundry room is gross
    Advice to owner:
    Take noise complaints seriously
    install thicker windows as part of renovations
    Keep trash area in better condition and have a key to that area so people cant use it as a toilet
