    Great management in a great building in a great neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building is always clean and have never had any issues with the building. The owners are very responsive, and the live in super is really helpful.
    Cons:
    Not much to complain about, except that 2 of the 4 washers are finicky and always breaking. The water pressure isn't the best, but you get used to it.

    So much potential, so little care
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building has great potential and a great location.
    Cons:
    This building is neglected by its owners. If they put a little money into the place, the building would be fantastic.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop nickel and diming.

    Good Building Overall
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Live-in super, elevator, laundry in basement, reasonable prices, excellent location
    Cons:
    Could be noisy at times, can't work directly with super (need to put in request through landlord first)

    An okay place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -Nice location
    -Apartment was newly renovated on move-in
    -No pest issues (though plenty of dead roaches in the basement and stairwells during the warmer months)
    -Minimal maintenance issues
    -Nice super
    -Laundry in basement
    Cons:
    -Owners can be incredibly rude and rigid
    -Stiflingly hot in the winter months
    -Elevator is extremely slow (they just replaced it a few months ago and the new elevator is slower than the last; the replacement also took nearly two months during which time tenants were forced to live in a walk-up, though we did get a reduction in rent during that time).
    -At the time of this writing, repairs are being done to the building facade, which was recently deemed unsafe by the DOB, and as a result there is a lot of construction noise during the day.

    Cons:

    Advice to owner:
    don't be a jerk
