    It Doesn’t Get Much Worse Than This
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Excellent neighbors and a feeling of community. You’ll never find people who are more like family in a building of strangers. Space is also impressive for Manhattan, especially for what you get.
    Cons:
    This building could not be more poorly maintained. It is literally crumbling to the earth. Ceilings are collapsing, walls are weeping, the roof leaks every time it rains to the point of showers in people’s apartments. The trash area is infamous in the neighborhood; if you have the misfortune of moving in, don’t tell anyone your address, or they’ll respond with “oh, the rat building!” The landlord gaslights everyone in the building, saying he’ll fix things. It’s been over a decade and he hasn’t done anything. It’s worse than uncomfortable - it’s a health hazard.
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the building to someone who cares about human life.

    Horrible, horrible landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent controlled. Good neighborhood.
    Cons:
    Nasty, nasty landlord. He has yelled at us numerous times. Does not approve of unmarried couples. Only uses non-unionized labor for plumbing and electrical work. Major flooding issues in units. He is on the list of the city’s worst landlords for good reason.
    Advice to owner:
    Get out of the business.
