Don’t Rent Here
Former Tenant
Pros:
Never had issues with stolen packages. In-unit laundry. Great distance from Riverside, Morningside, and Central Park and the 1 and B/C. Good stores down on Amsterdam Ave, pretty chill area.
Cons:
Hot water issues almost every other week. Unfortunate combination of an old structure + bad maintenance throughout the years. Badly constructed in kitchen & bathroom - gaping holes in the cabinets. The bathroom is tiny, making everything prone to mold - management won’t fix the vent in the bathroom and says to just open the window. Mice issues. Listing the apartments with no broker’s fee guarantees that they will always have people clambering to get in (and means they don’t have to fix maintenance issues long-term bc people never renew, so the new people go in blindly).
Advice to owner:
Replace the boiler!

AVOID THIS AWFUL BUILDING
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location with lots to do in the area so you don’t have to spend time in the apartment!
Cons:
Horrible people, the lock on my deadbolt broke and they refused to send me help. Live wire in our dish washer, infested with everything, over priced, disgusting
