    Nice enough for being rent stabilized
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent stabilized, people live there a long time, there's pest control, the people are nice and friendly, it's not too loud, there is laundry in building.
    Cons:
    The apartment I'm in had rats 2 winters ago and has had moths even though pest control comes once a month. The laundry in building has the smallest drums I've ever used, even after 3 cycles my laundry. The super is very nice, but isn't always easily accessible or responsive
    Advice to owner:
    Get better washers.

    Pros:
    Responsive super
    Spacious
    Cons:
    Uneven floors
    Unresponsive management company
    Absurd rent hikes (this place is not rent controlled)
    No heating in the winter go check the 311 site if you don't believe me
    Barely any hot water or you have to wait 5mins for it to get hot
    Garbage piles up very fast
    Only one working washing machines for almost a year
    Advice to owner:
    Grossly overcharging for rent
