Better than being homeless
Former Tenant
Pros:
The latest super (Jesus) does try to be responsive and fix things when asked…
The rent is cheaper than the median rent in the area, but trust me you are getting less than you pay for.

Cons:
BUT the entire building (especially the left side) is in such a state of decay and disrepair that it’s a wonder we’re allowed to live here. Both my next door neighbor and I have had portions of our ceiling fall in. I’ve been experiencing leaks every 2-6 weeks for 4 years. The water damage has never been properly fixed. The floorboards under my radiator are fully rotted from the radiator leaking, management has been informed of all of this and essentially does nothing. They never reply to emails. It’s impossible to get them on the phone. I even had another tenant harassing me and verbally threatening me because of their actions but they fully ignored both of us. Earlier this month someone fully broke the main entrance door and it was stuck open (anyone could access the building at any time) for days. You are never notified in advance if water or heat will be turned off for maintenance or emergency repair. And the boiler has no release valve so any time they run the heat and it isn’t brick there will be leaks throughout the building.
Advice to owner:
Maybe try caring about the human beings that live in this building?

Roaches, garbage filled alley, infestations
Former Tenant
Pros:
There was almost no pros to living in this building except the natural light on some of the top floors
Cons:
This was the first NYC apartment I lived in that had a rodent infestation. We are talking about mice building poop-filled nests in my shoes and regularly dying/rotting around the apartment. I also got flees from a neighbor while living here, because they let their flee-infested pitbulls roam the halls freely. When I reported my flee bites (which I thought were bedbug bites) to the management company, they scoffed at me, refused to treat my apartment, and then let me pay for my own fumigation. More than a month later they apologized and told me that my neighbor’s apartment was full of fleas, and that I was “not crazy.” When it rained heavily, the main staircase in this building would turn into a waterfall, with water cascading down the steps. Finally, the alley behind the building was filled with large trash piles from tenants just throwing full on garbage bags and leftovers out of their window and into the floor outside.
Advice to owner:
Demonstrate more respect for your tenants instead of treating them like an underclass you have no problem making money off of
