    Good location... but def some issues
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location, close to the subway
    Cons:
    The repairs they do to this building is pretty wild, complete patch ups when the ceiling comes down, never really addressing leaks.

    I spoke to a neighbor once who told me someone broke into their apartment but didn't steal anything, the super and the property owner doesn't seem to care. Seemed like a very bizarre situation to me.

    Packages get stolen all the time.

    Short stay
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to the train. Friendly neighbors in building.
    Cons:
    Dirty, a lot of street noise, roaches, mice
    Advice to owner:
    Sweep the stairwells more often and mange the garbage more frequently out front.

    AVOID. SHITTY MANAGEMENT.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, thick walls
    Cons:
    Street traffic, noisy street, it can take a while to get any substantial repairs done. Many of the fixes are just patches not fundamental repairs. For example, upon knowing a building inspector was coming they simply painted over mold in the bathroom. It takes pressure to get things done the right way and even then sometimes it feels like an uphill battle. Management seems more
    Focused on making the building alluring to new, shorter term tenants, through glossy but shoddy renovations, than truly fixing anything but that is a well-work tale in NYC at this point.

    Many tenants are slobs about trash and I feel sorry for the maintenance crew who is responsible for cleaning up after them.
    Advice to owner:
    Give a shit

    Was a good building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Well maintained building
    Cons:
    No elevator makes me sad
