    Glad we left
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quiet; conveniently located
    Cons:
    New management was greedy; added another bedroom to apts that were already small to begin with
    Over 1 year ago
    Great building to live in
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Generally the building is kept clean. Building has an elavator. Apartments have a dishwasher and in-wall AC units (no need to buy your own). There is laundry downstairs in the basement. In-house super very responsive to issues.
    Cons:
    Building has a small elevator and it is hard to move large items. Lots of dead roaches in the basement.
    Advice to owner:
    Really just try and resolve the roach issue.

    Enjoyed my time here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Generally pretty clean, super is friendly and lives on-site. Quite responsive by phone/text. Mail area is large though sometimes chaotic. Trash bins in the basement always have room (emptied regularly), and there are enough washer/dryers in the building for those who use it. Good amount of natural light, units equipped with A/C (just pay as part of electric bill) and I was never cold in the winter. I'm a fan of my apartment's layout, which has a loft area, maximizing the living space. I would probably stay if I could. Not sure if this is a pro or con, but the fire escape is located outside of a fire door and not directly outside my unit (con: a bit farther if there's an emergency; pro: no one can climb up to your windows that way)
    Cons:
    Elevators are small - wasn't a problem for me, but don't count on them for moving large items. Sound from other units is minimal - you only really hear stuff near the door/in the hall, but sound from the street comes in pretty loudly sometimes. If you're there during renovation, it's pretty loud (and seems to have brought some pests out into common areas). Note: The loft space I mentioned (I think probably all E units) is NOT big enough for a full mattress to lay flat. Part of the wall cuts into a corner, so your mattress must be soft/squashable to fit
    Advice to owner:
    Keep it up :) try to minimize outside noise (better seals on windows?)

    So much noise
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - In general good price for the location and apt size before construction started - brings package to your door if you don’t pick it up in like 2/3 days
    Cons:
    - Constant construction noise both within building (starts at 6am) and outside the building (Cuba embassy) - Hot water is unstable - Laundry card doesn’t work sometimes
    Advice to owner:
    Limit the noise

    Management doesn’t care about residents
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -package room well organized and have never experienced stolen packages -elevator has never had any issues -convenient location
    Cons:
    -management refuses to take responsibility for a rodent infested building or give any sort of reparation to residents who repeatedly experience cockroaches and mice coming from cracks in the unit in their space -building workers won’t help you if you have an urgent request on a Sunday, such as presence of rodents -building management is sassy/sarcastic and does not demonstrate any empathy when you bring issues to their attention -heat system is very unpredictable- you often experience either extreme heat or the heat is completely off for hours at a time in winter and you experience freezing cold - extremely loud street noise and noise from heaters
    Over 2 years ago

    Cons:
    Common areas could be updated a bit
    Advice to owner:
    Keep Steven and Napoleon around!
