    Adult Greek Life
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Overall, building is fairly well-managed. Some great doormen and porters. Central heat and air. Laundry in basement.
    Cons:
    Building has gotten younger as rent hikes push out long-time tenants, parties are louder and more frequent. Also, significant rent hikes (i.e. $400). Elevator access not always consistent, particularly with the service elevator. Water is sometimes turned off every other month or so, usually with notice but sometimes without.

    Meant for recent college grads
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building staff are kind, friendly, and always helpful
    Cons:
    There are a bunch of huge apartments (5 bedrooms) that are rented by young, loud, recent college grads. The building is loud all night because of this. There is also always construction being done on the building during the day, without any notice to residents. The building is therefore loud, all the time. The surroundings are also loud given it's location on 34th st and lex.
    Advice to owner:
    Manage expectations of tenants where possible regarding potential noise disturbances in the building due to the never-ending construction. Be more gracious to longstanding tenants when it comes to lease renewal. If the market has dipped significantly and you don't concede on the rent of a 4-year-old tenant, it breaks the loyalty. I won't ever rent from Algin again because of this.
