    Worth the money
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Inexpensive rent (relative to the rest of NYC), close proximity to the 1 train, somewhat newly renovated bathroom and kitchenette
    Cons:
    Common areas reek and aren't clean, only one bathroom for a 4-br apt, had mice and management couldn't take care of it - had to get rid of it ourselves.

    Absolute nightmare to rent from
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to the 181st 1 station
    Cons:
    The landlord is the absolute worst. Building negligence is an understatement, fire dept had to shut off our water when our washer flooded the apartment. Trion gave minimal response. The apartment is permanently damaged with mold and they refuse to do anything about it. The property management is extremely unprofessional and acts like it's an absolute burden to do basic maintenance, they still haven't fixed power outlets that we put in a request for months ago.
    The building is disgustingly overpriced for the condition and location it's in.
    Advice to owner:
    Give a shit about your tenants
