    Mixed bag, greedy rude management company
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location. Great water pressure. Good service on appliances.
    Cons:
    Horrible issues with leaks.
    Grossly insufficient heat - they are baseboards. Extremely expensive to run and does not keep the apartment warm.
    The management company is rude and condescending whenever you need to speak with them.
    They will jack up your rent significantly when renewal comes. Some neighbors are rent-controlled and suspect that many 'market rate' units in the building are in fact rent-stabilized.
    The trash area is disgusting.
