Cons:
Building had a funky smell, occasionally. Older building. Appliances took forever to get fixed/replaced.
Landlord tried to keep our deposit, was trying to scare us but we actively fought back and he eventually gave us our deposit back. (File a claim if necessary).

Advice to owner:
Don’t be so rude with your tenants. Be compliant with NYC landlord rules by returning deposits within the required timeframe.
