    Decent apartments but a lot of frustration
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Convenient location. Neat 2 and 3 floor apartments. Nearly renovated apartments. Value for the moneys decent. Comes with a lot of frustration though. Cameras are installed in the lobby as of 2023.
    Cons:
    59th at bridge traffic gets backed up in front of the building daily. It’s loud. Elevator breaks once a month. Water stops running at least once a month. Plumbers said landlord won’t properly fix the pumps. Hot waters often not working. Many layouts don’t have adequate air flow. There’s often package theft, even with cameras. The door intercom was upgraded but it’s garbage. People ring it and it stays on a black screen half the time and beeps. Switch to a modern mobile app please.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being cheap with the small repairs, spend the money to replace what’s broken. Replace the intercoms.

    Overall good experiences with some downfalls
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Spacious units with outdoor space. Amazing super who is very attentive. Wall unit air conditioners. Renovated units. Exposed brick. Elevator building. Laundry in building. Fair utility billing. Attentive maintenance
    Cons:
    Issues with package theft due to tenants letting in non-resident. Older building lobby. Basement where laundry and trash is is a little rundown. Elevator is very old a bit slow, occasionally doesn’t work. Have seen dead cockroaches in the building stairwell.
    Advice to owner:
    Modernize the building a bit, install cameras, fix door buzzer, install door buzzer that links to phone (butterfly software)
