    Good starter apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great, right off of Amsterdam Ave and in a vibrant part of the UWS. Also, the landlord is very responsive about maintenance requests, and repairs are usually completed within a few days. The price was also reasonable for the neighborhood, given the current market.
    Cons:
    No elevator, the stairway is kind of rundown, and the ceiling leaks in the staircase when it rains.

    Mediocre at best
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amazing location on the UWS
    Cons:
    Rats rats rats! And roaches. Owner and super are very hard to reach.

    It has potential
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    They are really diligent about garbage pick up and responding to urgent needs for the apartment.
    Cons:
    If it’s not an urgent need, management takes forever to respond and get back to you to answer simple questions which is really frustrating.

    Who even owns this building?
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location great, safe, pretty quiet, “superintendent” was nice, large space.
    Cons:
    Difficult to contact management office, no emergency number, frequent issues with lobby door locking, bedbugs. Always rude and unhelpful. Robo-responses and no way to contact a real person for any issue ever.
    Advice to owner:
    Work with existing tenants to preserve the safety and sanitation of the building. Most units need a lot of TLC. Needs a more efficient office.
