Never move into this building
Pros
It's in a great location.
Cons
It is horrifically overpriced considering there are no amenities to this building, unless you pay for one of the renovated apartments (but even then, you have to contend with walking into sewage that leaks in from the front door). The intercom breaks all the time, leaving many of us stranded outside until a tenant from inside the building could let us in. The water is brown every other week and property management consists of repainting the walls every other day, so have fun getting to your apartment without scraping your shoulder with a coat of fresh paint. The property owners act like they're in the mafia and threaten you and your roommates unless you contend to do what they say--a big red flag is they only ever wish to speak over the phone (please document everything in an email, trust me). This is a horrible building managed by equally horrible people, and although the location is enticing, it is simply not worth it.
Advice to the owners
Get a real job, loser.
Bad unresponsive management. Poor value + rent increases
Pros
Would not have signed this lease if I had been aware of how poorly this place is managed
Cons
Dirty, lots of issues with appliances (combo washer dryer is terrible) and pests and management was extremely unresponsive. Both roaches and mice found in third floor apartment. Rent increase is nearly 10% on an apartment that is already poor value. Virtual doorman was left broken for nearly a month with no way to let people in. Have nothing good to say about this place. Live anywhere else in the east village. You will regret signing here
