Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Nice super, bad management and tenants

Pros

-Nice, responsive super. If you treat him well he will take care of you. -monthly pest control. Never saw mice. Saw 1-2 roaches in 12 months - never had a package stolen -laundromat downstairs -close to subway, gym, and park

Cons

-Some sketchy, loud tenants. They frequently have parties that creep into the hallway. They also would leave whole pieces of furniture blocking the stairs. -management was very unresponsive. -ALWAYS people on the stoop

Advice to the owners

Treat the super and his staff better. Have better oversight of tenants who do not abide by the law.
