    wouldn't live there again and will never live in a basement unit in nyc again
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    recently remodeled, nice backyard, decent amenities
    Cons:
    basement apartment flooding, superintendent that denied the existence of mold, wood floors warped dramatically, tremendously unhelpful mgmt company. other units also had leaking/water problems that the mgmt company dragged their feet on doing anything about
