Great location but $$$
Former Tenant
Pros:
What a block to live on
Cons:
Our apartment was barely updated and then they price gouged us after covid. We didn't have one closet in the entire apartment. And only one sink in the kitchen. No sink in the bathroom. No one should be paying thousands of dollars for a room that only fits a full and a dresser. Especially if there is no other space

Cheap but dirty
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building wasn’t expensive and a good location. Rooftop is great also
Cons:
Building was a mess. The garbage room was disgusting and the hallway entrance always reeked of garbage. Buzzer was broken for months and the managing company is not very responsive

5 out of 10 Experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location on the LES, and the building itself has a lot of character
Cons:
We had issues with hot water outages that weren't announced ahead of time, pests in the hallways, and an inattentive super/owner that was nearly impossible to get ahold of to fix any issues
Advice to owner:
Get a super that responds when there's a problem

Building nice but management will never respond
Former Tenant
Pros:
Quiet and clean building. We never had issues with hot water or water pressure. No bugs or mice.
Cons:
There was a rat problem in the trash alley in the winter. It was eventually handled but was quite bad for some time. The management company will absolutely never respond to your emails. They essentially forced us to pay for a lock that came broken when we moved in because they never responded to our emails about reimbursement. Additionally it took them over a month to fix our broken kitchen appliance and they did not compensate us via rent reduction when we asked.
Advice to owner:
Please be more responsive to your tenants.

Place is fine
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location but it’s loud and getting more unsafe. No bugs tho which is great.
Cons:
Takes a while for the them to respond to requests and can get dirty in hallways
Advice to owner:
Turn it into luxury condos with a doorman

Less than good
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, rooftop, decent pest control, easy neighbors, pretty quiet.
Cons:
Management is less than responsive on both minor and major/urgent issues. Heat is nonexistent in the winter. Our neighbors are currently suing the building due to sewage backup into their apartment. Packages are stolen 50% of the time.
Advice to owner:
Treat your tenants with at least some respect/care. Saying there’s “nothing you can do” about heat/hot water issues and packages consistently being stolen (there are no cameras installed in this building) is unacceptable.

Management company from hell
Former Tenant
Pros:
None whatsoever period
Cons:
Everything under the sun
Advice to owner:
Check your security cameras, thefts are coming from inside the building
