Infested and horrible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to a ton of shops, a great park, and by the water. Quiet neighborhood. New super is extremely friendly and kind.
Cons:
Three words. Roaches, Mice, and Mold. Roaches everywhere all the time. Waterbugs, centipedes, spiders, flying roaches. And yes - MICE. Mold hidden in plain sight and in the floors, walls, and cielings. Washers and dryers in building are filthy, never cleaned. Basement area where the washers and dryers are is absolutely disgusting, roaches everywhere. Management makes you pay for updated appliances even if they are needed due to health risks such as food safety and fire safety (e.g. freezers that shut off leading to thawed meat, ovens that spark and start smoke). The elevator was finally updated after 30 years and multiple incidents of people getting stuck and they punted the cost onto tennants. You can never reach a single human being at the management office - you always have to leave a message and hope someone reaches out at some point. If you need any repairs or maintenance, they just have someone randomly show up at your door at a random time on a random day without scheduling with you or letting you know in advance, expect you to be home, and if you happen to miss them, you're SOL until "the next time they're available next month". The walls in the apartments are literally paper thin - you can hear full conversations with no problem, constant screaming in the hallways from children or bickering partners and bickering neighbors. Floors are so old and improperly installed that you can hear a loud creak with every single step. Building is full of mold, and if you happen to have a leak from upstairs that leads to mold forming in your cieling, they'll just send a painter to go over it with the "landlord special" white paint. And there are constant maintenance fixes of this sort because the place is so decrepet and no care is put into maintaining it - it seems every month a new problem arises and the cycle continues. Management are penny pinchers and will find any and every way to grab your money for this disgusting excuse for housing.

Small Space but good storage
Former Tenant
Pros:
There is a solid amount of storage for an apartment of this size (ours was a 2 bedroom with no living room, just a kitchen set up) but there is a large closet in the main room and both rooms have a 2 door and 3 door closet respectively. I was able to fit a queen bed, dresser, and full desk in my room. Very clean and updated, had laundry in unit and a dishwasher which was a huge plus. No issues at all with our neighbors. Neighborhood is safe and right downstairs is a trader joes. All in all a really solid apartment, just a small space.
Cons:
Loud (next to freeway onramp - earplugs needed to sleep). It's VERY hot, even in the winter. No living room.
Advice to owner:
I think all in all this is a great, solid spot in NYC. Double paned windows would really increase the value of the property I think!
