Budget apartments cost you quality
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rent pricing was below market for the unit size in an elevator building with common area laundry. Excellent location right next to the 96th St express train.
Cons:
The heating during the winter could not be adjusted, so the apartment was way too hot, resulting in the need to keep windows open all winter long.
The drainage in the shower and bathroom sink were very poor and always clogged. We cleared the drain on a regular basis, but water would still build up in the tub while showering.
The kitchen and bathroom were extremely dated - really old cabinets, tile, appliances. Because of this, the apartment never really felt clean.
The ceiling in the bedroom had a leak, which was repaired relatively quickly to stop water from coming in, but the water stain remained on the ceiling for the rest of the time we lived there.
Management is very rude and unresponsive.

Advice to owner:
The building needs a full renovation and replacement of the building systems.
