    Great Location that was about it
    Former Tenant

    Large fire escape
    Proximity to good businesses
    Cons:
    Paper thin walls
    Creaky floors
    Bug coming in from under the baseboards
    Advice to owner:
    Renovate

    Slumlord, don’t rent here*
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cons outweigh the pros exponentially.
    Cons:
    Building was not up to safety/sanitation codes and became overrun with aggressive squatters. Units have been illegally rent destabilized so all tenants were being illegally overcharged. Monthly exterminator was never sent until 311 reports were submitted, she even after then roach and mice problems were still persistent.
    Advice to owner:
    Do your job by creating safe and sanitary living spaces, quit price gouging and harassing the community, so maybe just sell your buildings so someone can actually take care of them and their tenants?

    Landlord is terrible one of the worst in New York
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nothing at all
    Cons:
    Everything land lord has threatened to fight me. Failed to meet fire codes, never fixed anything, apartment should have been rent stabilized
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being a terrible human being
