    Great Builiding, Well-Managed, Great Neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This is a friendly building. The doorpeople, the porter staff, and the superintendent are all helpful and friendly. The neighbors are nice. The landlord is responsive.
    Cons:
    The only negative is that when the school next door lets out in the afternoon it can be a little noisy.
    Advice to owner:
    You're doing a great job.

    Classic Prospect Heights Pre-war
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Classic NY pre-war. Well managed, large 1 bedrooms. The doormen are wonderful and Jose the cleaner keeps the place spotless. We loved living here.
    Cons:
    Elevator can be annoying at times. The super is not at all organized, and can take very long to respond to tenant needs. Very frustrating for some tenants, we didn’t have too many issues.
    Advice to owner:
    Thanks, David. We enjoyed our two years at the Old Colony

    Prospect Heights gem
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Doorman building, friendly staff, laundry in building, parquet floors, great garden and trees, built-ins, cross-ventilation
    Cons:
    Rusty pipes (bring or install water filters)
    Advice to owner:
    Keep up the good work of maintaining and restoring this building! One suggestion: open up the back courtyard for residents who’d like a little outdoor space

    Great location but some downside
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, size and tenants.
    Cons:
    Packages consistently stolen by either doorman or tenant but most likely the former. Super takes constant requests before fixing.

    Great building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great staff. Maintenance supervisor always on top of things. A text away
    Cons:
    Alex door guy has a bit of an attitude when asked for anything. Screams a lot
    Advice to owner:
    Great staff aside from front desk
