Could’ve been great but it wasn’t
Former Tenant
Pros:
The guys who work at the building clean the hallway/elevator regularly. Looks clean from the outside. Super is responsive and quickly sends people over if I have any issues.
Cons:
The building clearly has a bedbug issue. I’ve only been here for less than a year, and have not had this issue in any of my other nyc apartments. I’ve received four treatments, safe to say this place is not working for me.
Advice to owner:
If you’re going to exterminate one person’s apartment, you should be required to exterminate the surrounding apartments. Sadly my neighbors are older folks, and they are less likely to report any problems and will just live with them. I am not strong enough to live in fear of getting bit at night.

Great building for first time renters.
Former Tenant
Pros:
The superintendent Kenny is always responsive and on top of any of the needs of the building. Neighbors aren’t overly loud or problematic. The neighborhood is good as well.
Cons:
It’s an older property so just like any, it needs some repair.
Advice to owner:
No advice to give.
