    Good Building, Good Management, Amazing Super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super is amazing. Very responsive, very trustworthy, very on top of everything.
    Working security cameras in the lobby.
    Responsive management.
    Good neighbors, clean building, right near A and 1 trains
    Cons:
    It's an old building, there are lots of things that need serious repairs.
    Every few years there is a roach problem and it took a while to get an exterminator.
    Advice to owner:
    Make sure to retain the super

    195 Bennett Living
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good building. The super is great—responsive & helpful. Giant affordable rental units. Nice neighbors in the building.
    Cons:
    Can be noisy on the street. Some maintenance jobs seem rushed. Floors & walls are thin—neighbor noise carries easily. Management isn’t super responsive.

    Cons:
    Noise on broadway

    Nice building on a pretty block
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Best super ever! Also nice apartment interior, good temperature control in winter, nice neighbors and pretty street. Close to subway at 191st. Management organized, honest and straightforward . More than you can say for 90+ percent of buildings in NYC.
    Cons:
    Cockroaches in the spring/summer. Mostly gone once we decluttered and closed holes. Ditto for the one mouse we saw. Noise from broadway if your windows are on 190th. Management could be a little short tempered in their tone.
    Advice to owner:
    Continue to be honest and straightforward with tenants. This is much appreciated , and rare in NYC.

    Super is phenomenal. Close to the subway.
    Cons:
    Close to busy funeral home. Poor management.
    Advice to owner:
    Update building features. Be more responsive to tenets.
