Roaches and Deception

Pros

Great location (right in front of the 137th street/city college stop Big rooms Updated appliances

Cons

There was an ongoing roach infestation for the first month I lived there The super is so unresponsive and im not sure what he exactly get paid to do

Advice to the owners

Hire a better super and properly vet your tenants as the previous ones were filthy

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

The super was no good

Pros

Good stairs you feel like you want slip on.

Cons

The super was incredible difficult to pin down and would literally walk out of the apartment pretending to get tools and never come back. Rent stabilized apartments got worse treatment than newer market rate ones.

Advice to the owners

Give equal treatment to ALL apartment units.
