    Old and loud
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent stabilized… that’s it
    Cons:
    Weird neighbors. The wood floors are extremely loud. You will be able to hear every movement in the unit above you. Walls are extremely thin. Pest problem.
    Advice to owner:
    Paint the inside of the apartment and upgrade the buzzer. Make sure tenants are compliant with the 80% carpet rule.

    Building needs an upgrade. Dirty, hazardous, rodents.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, location, location.
    Cons:
    Doors always break, cameras never work and only located on first floor, hallways haven’t been painted in years,, building is cleaned 2x/month if that, never mopped.
    Advice to owner:
    This building is overpriced for what it looks like. Make your tenants feel like you actually care about them a little. The hallways need some painting, they look horrible. Stop being cheap with managing this building.
