    Do not rent here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There’s a laundromat in the storefront/basement level of the building so laundry is convenient.
    Cons:
    Landlords are shockingly unresponsive, building management is abhorrent. Rampant roach infestation and rats in the walls.

    Best super you’ll ever have in the world!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super
    Laundromat is right below the building

    Subway station close
    Buzzer works
    Great appliances and water pressure
    Neighbors were sweet and kind
    Cons:
    Not the most clean (landlord should invest on a deep cleaning), also some neighbors were not clean and left trash
    A bit noisy on one side (right by Amsterdam Av)
    The mailboxes were tricky
    Advice to owner:
    Help the super by investing in deep cleaning the building
