Don’t live here.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Bedrooms are nice size. That’s about it. Management is absolutely TERRIBLE.
Cons:
This is an old, unkept building and management is terrible. Every issue you can think of arose in my years of living here:
-rodents: mouse issues and centipede/cockroach issues. Oven smells like mouse piss.
-loud neighbors: neighbors in rear host large outdoor karaoke parties that run late into 3 am hours. Called cops several times for noise complaints
-building unkept: dirty, hair balls on floor, tenants smoking inside apartments, tenants jumping on roof and almost causing ceiling collapse. Loud tenants within the building. Parties, stomping, yelling 24/7. A baby lives on first floor.
-heat breaks often. Small gas heater in each bedroom, not enough to heat the apartment efficiently. Heaters are old and break several times during winter months.
-VERY POOR INSULATION. massive cracks around doors and windows. Windows blow inwards during high winds and at risk of coming off.
-issues with gas and electrical lines. Electric wiring is rigged and may be paying for other tenants usage with conEd. ConEd bills exponentially higher than they should be.
-ceiling crumbling in kitchen. May collapse at any point?
-dirty and unsafe neighborhood.
-unfinished, rodent infested basement.
-paper thin walls. Can hear neighbors having sex at all hours. Spanking, etc. soft core porn echoing the hallways.
- Pipes freeze during winter. Landlord will send an unlicensed electrician who used a BLOW TORCH on pipes. Ended up cutting a hole in the wall and leaving, telling us “it will be fixed later’. 18 degrees outside mind you, and we have a hole cut in the drywall exposing the outdoor elements.
-buzzer system doesn’t work; no way to let guest or delivery into the building other than going down to let them in
-landlord harassed us via text; asking to arrange sleepovers and get drunk together.
-packages stolen from within building
-do yourself a favor and do not live here. May have had lead paint exposure.

Advice to owner:
Renovate this building and stop hiring unlicensed people to do “cheap” repairs. Screen for better tenants that don’t act like animals. Mop the floors.
