    Not the best.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location
    Larger apartments than average for nyc
    Elevator (when it works)
    Trash chute
    Dishwasher
    Was affordable
    Cons:
    ROACH INFESTATION ultimately the reason I moved

    Not rent stabilized. The landlord has raised the rent substantially over the years and it is not worth the price.

    Location. You essentially live on 11th Ave and it is a long walk just to access a local subway station. The building is isolated

    Very kind super but slow to fix anything

    Broken down elevator frequently

    BROKEN VENTILATION. The building hallways and apts have exhaust vents to help with airflow and they do not work. In the summer it’s not uncommon for mold and mildew and putrid smells which also encourages roaches.

    NOISE the floors in this building are paper thin creaky and have zero sound insulation. You will hear every single footstep above you. There is no peace or quiet if you are not on the top.!!!!

    BROKEN WASHERS AND DRYERS
    There used to be one more dryer and washer they had removed and 3/5 of the dryers don’t work 2/5 washers do not work. The vents probably need cleaned out on the dryers and the washer units need all replaced with larger more industrial front loaders. The management along with the laundry company are unresponsive. While living here I ended up having to do drop off wash and fold often because I do not have the time or money to waste waiting on two washers to hope they get my clothes clean.
    Advice to owner:
    FIX THE ROACH PROBLEM FIX THE VENTILATION FOR THE BUILDING AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REPLACE THE LAUNDRY ROOM OR HIRE ANOTHER COMPANY TO MANAGE IT!!!! Do not raise rent on tenants who increasingly live in an inferior building.
