    Convenient but flawed
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location for convenience, right in the heart of SoHo.

    Apartment layouts are smart for making the most of the small sizes.
    Cons:
    In unit washer/dryer is a joke.

    Garbage room is disgusting and poorly maintained.

    Heat is inconsistent. Was off for most of the start of heating season despite being well below thresholds. Now on constantly which is bad for air quality.

    Building management threatened by ConEd in January for not paying their bills.

    Finishes are cheaply done overall, sloppy tile work in the bathroom, flimsy apartment doors that leak all sound. Wiring for spectrum internet is old and super unreliable

    Great location but poor management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, nice finishes in renovated apartments
    Cons:
    Small apartments, dark, unresponsive management company, skyrocketing rent, no gas for 9 months (no stove or oven), no heat for 3 weeks in the dead of winter, inconsistent pricing among tenants
    Advice to owner:
    Fire the management company and hire someone competent
