Budget friendly but you get what you pay for
Former Tenant
Pros:
Spacious rooms and lots of natural light
Cons:
Lobby is extremely dirty, and apartment is prone to leaks. The super would patch the leaks without fixing the problem. There are also drug dealers that sell drugs inside and outside of the building. There have also been cases of bed bugs in different units.
Advice to owner:
Do some renovations to the lobby and elevator!

It’s Okay.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Spacious apartments with decent room sizes.
Cons:
Not all units are renovated. Elevator stops working at least twice a week. Hallway, stairways, lobby, and outdoor space is rarely cleaned and ridden with trash. Building is affiliated with drug dealers who block entrances, walkways, and occasionally hallways. Packages and items (bikes, scooters, etc) are often stolen. Landlord is unresponsive to apartment issues. Super is unresponsive to apartment issues.
Advice to owner:
Advice your super and workers to clean the lobby, hallways, stairways, lobby, and outdoor space regularly. That includes sweeping, mopping, picking up trash, and washing the sidewalk. Update elevator system. You knowingly allow drug dealers to hang inside AND outside the apartment, this is a nuisance to all who live and pay rent here. They steal packages and draw negative attention.
