Prepare to be Ghosted by your “Landlord”
Former Tenant
Pros:
Superintendent staff are wonderful. They have been there for years and are very helpful when needed.
Cons:
The Management company is a scam. They are unresponsive, inconsistent, and dishonest. I’m convinced they are waiting for all tenants to willingly vacate so they can demolish and rebuild the complex.

Do Not Live Here
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large rooms, laundry in building, close to subway, new businesses moving in.
Cons:
I could list forever. Bed bugs from neighbors leaving furniture in the hallway. Countless roaches and mice from holes left from previous renovation (could not get them fixed due to lack of communication from super and management). Hallways stink of garbage and weed. Loud neighbors fighting constantly. Outdated elevator that is difficult for those in a wheelchair to use. Old kitchen appliances. The oven in particular shorted out and destroyed two of the circuit breakers, leaving half of the apartment with no power for a week. We still have not gotten a new oven/stove as of three weeks. Little to no heat from the radiators and bouts of no hot water. Constant water damage to the walls and ceiling due to the old pipes breaking in the apartment above ours. Maintenance barely fixing anything (they fixed the holes in the ceiling by slapping spackle on it and spray painted it without sanding. Spray paint got everywhere.) For your own health, do not live here.
Advice to owner:
Stop using these properties as a cash grab. The people who live in Affordable Housing deserve better than to be tossed between property owners for a quick buck. The building slowly crumbles as people who cannot afford to leave must endure it. We need regulations to prevent these owners from taking advantage of us.

Disgusting Building Beware
Former Tenant
Pros:
Better than sleeping on the sidewalk.
Cons:
Literally everything - the ceiling collapsed in our bathroom and mice lived in our fuse box in the pantry.
Advice to owner:
Give the building to the residents
