    No heat, only space heaters
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good amount of space, good location. Close to train and laundromat down the street.
    Cons:
    Stairwell and other public areas dirty. No e-doorman, no package room, packages would get stolen constantly from just being left on the street. Extremely unresponsive landlord, even with urgent requests. No heat, only space heaters in every room. Increased rent by insane amount out of nowhere. Poor appliances, with toilet not working.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the heat. Only space heaters is not acceptable. Clean the stairs regularly. Install an e-doorman or insure the residents get their packages safely. Respond promptly to resident requests, especially urgent ones.
