    Not a good building for the price.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I liked the in-unit washer-dryer and proximity to the 2/3 trains and the Harlem MNR line. But this building negatively affects the neighborhood.
    Cons:
    Rent is super pricey for the neighborhood, neighbors are disgusting and smell bad, steal packages, steal bikes, it is a 5 story walk-up and rent does not make up for it, neighbors constantly smoking makes my apartment smell like shit, and the rent portal is horrible and charges $10 every month on top of EACH payment. Finally, they only accept renters with guarantors so they mainly want to rent to people who make a lot of money, which just makes the streets filled with more homeless people making the area unsafe.
    Advice to owner:
    Fill up all the empty apartments.
