    Solid pre-war apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    On-site Super and his family is kind and helpful.
    Spacious apartments with hardwood floor, eat in kitchen, sunk-in living room, all the pre-war charm. Landlord is not fussy and lease renewal process has always been smooth and on time.
    Cons:
    Occasionally there could be mini roaches but they do send exterminators if need.
    bathroom and kitchen can use a bit more update/renovation.

    Lived here happily for 15 years
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Really nice and reachable super.
    Cons:
    Elevators are old and in need of replacement. Sloooow.
    Owner stingy on maintenance and required internal paint jobs.
    Kitchens and bathrooms not adequately maintained, patched up until you move out and the price can be jacked up.
    Advice to owner:
    Better care for the apartments. Regular maintenance and servicing will lower costs in the long run.
