    Bad trash management but otherwise fine
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    No serious problems with the building itself.
    Cons:
    Outdoor metal trash receptacle not sealed so it’s constantly full of rats, which makes taking out your trash really gross

    A pretty decent east village building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is ideal, right on the avenue. Elevator is a huge plus. It has steam heat which is nice. My apartment was very spacious
    Cons:
    Had a consistent mouse problem. Even after sealing up every hole with management, we still had an issue with them. Insulation between floors and ceiling was garbage, constantly heard upstairs neighbor.

    Poorly Managed, Great Apartments
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super is very kind and is usually responsive and timely with helping with issues. Apartments are a large size but they are renovating all of them to get more tenants/higher rent = smaller rooms/living areas. Tenants are friendly and young (typical to the area). Rent is a fair price for the market.
    Cons:
    Property manager is impossible to work with. Never responds and has a terrible attitude if you raise any concerns. Another tenant was asked to leave because they complained so much. Old building so lots of leaking, rodents, other pests. Constant construction (summer 22) Packages ALWAYS stolen/ripped open if left more than a few hours. Building managers are scamming people out of their security deposits.
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to your tenants and treat them with respect (at a minimum). Upgrade security so that tenants don’t have to worry about valuables going missing. Do something about the constant water damage. Do something about the insane rodent problem. Clean the outside of the building so it doesn’t look like a garbage center.

    Building is okay, management is very slow to respond and irresponsible
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice lobby, elevator. Garbage is always piling up on the sidewalk.
    Cons:
    Management is rude and is very slow in responding to issues in the apartment. Our fridge broke down a couple times and our sink leaked, we had to tell them many times and it took them a long time to fix these issues.

    F- Landlord, overall great building all things considered (though old)
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, reasonably priced. Elevator very useful. Super also very helpful.
    Cons:
    Landlord is the absolute worst. Packages get stolen on the reg.
    Advice to owner:
    Show some decency to your tenants, we are humans too

    Horrible Building, Even Worse Management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighborhood is great
    Cons:
    Packages repeatedly stolen and management did nothing about it Elevator constantly under repair/broken Homeless people get into the lobby Trash everywhere inside the lobby Loud neighbors - young demographic
    Advice to owner:
    Address tenant’s issues instead of ignoring them for months on end Clean the building Improve security so packages are not stolen
    Over 2 years ago
    Review From 2 Year Tenant
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Spacious apartment. Decently nice neighbors. Good location if you like the east village.
    Cons:
    Rude and inconsistent management. No cooking gas for 1.5 years (offered a small concession on rent, but had to fight for it and report the building to the city). Unreliable elevator. Over 16 mice. Homeless lady living in the lobby at times. Leaky windows, unable to retain heat in apartment. Had to purchase space heaters.
    Advice to owner:
    To learn customer service!
