Decent in Hells Kitchen
Pros
Unit itself was nice, the subway is nearby, and no pest issues inside the unit itself
Cons
Management is unresponsive and not very helpful, the lower floors are extremely dirty and the trash slash laundry room constantly had roaches and mice. The hardwood floors in the units are scuffed and a bus line runs outside so it gets noisy sometimes.
Felt Like Home
Pros
Alex the super is very responsive and friends with everyone on the block. Almost feels like the same protection as a doorman or an added sense of security. I’ve also lived in the building for years and never had a mouse or roach. The hallways are always incredibly clean.
Cons
The walls are ridiculously thin. I can hear all my neighbors conversations and any noise in the shared wall in the bathroom. There is no privacy. They also raise the rent a considerable amount each year as they consider it a “luxury” building. Also, I’ve had several packages stolen from the area under the stairs.
Advice to the owners
