Living at 422 E 14th street
Former Tenant
Pros:
I have lived here for 2 years and honestly its been great. This was my first NYC apartment so it was always have a soft spot in my heart.

1. There is a group chat with everyone that lives here and that makes it very easy to coordinate if the washer/dryer is broken or not.
2. Occasionally the hot water has gone out but that was fixed when the landlord bought a new hot water heater.
3. Any maintenance repairs and have been fixed relatively quickly.
4. Never had a package stolen
Cons:
Honestly I can really say any cons for this building. They take care of us.
Advice to owner:
Good job
