The noisiest building I have ever lived in
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great neighborhood, close to the park. Maintenance issues are usually resolved quickly.
Cons:
Walls are extremely thin, noise from neighbors has forced me to wear ear plugs every night and even then am sometimes still woken up from the noise. Fire department across the street is also sometimes an issue, the horns are super loud and they test loud equipment twice a day. The exterminator does come but hasn’t been in a few months and I occasionally see beetles and roaches. Management office is extremely short and rude when calling in with issues.
Advice to owner:
Be more diligent about pest control, do some work to insulate against noise. I would also think they should let potential residents know that it’s noisy before moving in.

Beautiful building, horrible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Huge apartments with high ceilings. Cheap-ish rent for nyc. Great neighborhood.
Cons:
Management is horrible. Not very understanding or flexible and raised everyone’s rent in the middle of the pandemic.
Advice to owner:
More flexibility. Better pest control
