    Just don’t do it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good water pressure when it works and it’s not brown.
    Friendly doormen when they’re there.
    Elevators when they’re not broken.
    Cons:
    Poor pest and bug control. Building constantly smells like stale urine (this is common knowledge amongst staff). The monopoly owner is borderline slumlord that doesn’t care and only employs family members (Google the family, it’s public knowledge). The heat and AC are always down and owner claims repairs are being done when they aren’t (don’t be fooled by heat and AC included). Water is shut down for 12 hours every other month for “cleaning.” Elevators are often broken. TLDR: avoid.
    Advice to owner:
    Be human and respect your tenants

    The most confusing building in NYC
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Dean! He is the best part of the building.
    Cons:
    I rent, but very confused about how/why the HOA could ever be this high - there are no amenities, elevators don't work well, the super is not responsive, and the doormen are kind but they do not announce guests/ let anyone in.
