Worst building do not rent
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is ok
Cons:
Mice, cockroaches, asshole/entitled super that refuses to do his job, loud radiators… the list goes on and on. Please don’t live here unless you’re desperate. The building has tons of violations and you will hate your life living here

Good for me at the time, but happy to be out
Former Tenant
Pros:
The biggest pros about this apartment were the location, relatively affordable rent, and the opportunity for 2 year leases.
Specifically this location was great for me when I was going to school in Washington Heights while living with my boyfriend who worked in Downtown Brooklyn. This place afforded us both a 40ish min commute.

Cons:
The amount of cockroaches was unfathomable and right before we ended our lease we even started seeing mice. The super was a dick and rarely answered his phone. He gave me a hard time when my bathroom's ceiling caved in from a broken pipe upstairs. He tried to blame it on the upstairs tenants but I spoke with them and their pipe genuinely burst! My super tried to claim the neighbors had left their tub overflowing... so odd.
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive to emergency situations! I sincerely hope the roaches have found a new home as well.

Do not rent
Former Tenant
Pros:
not much to like about the building
Cons:
radiators are loud (ive never heard radiators THIS loud, but management “cant do anything about it” and will tell you that it used to be much worse and nobody had complained before LOL which i don’t believe one bit of. speaking of radiators- my radiator was leaking and the management ignored all my emails and never got back to me about it.
neighbors steal packages and play loud music at 3am. there are neighbors that let dogs straight-up pee in the hallway and on the top of the entryway.
there’s loose concrete pouring out from behind the walls in my apartment onto the floor, and the floor boards are old. shoddy maintenance done throughout the property, they do have monthly pest control come to your door but i see roaches and bugs all the time (if ur not home when pest control visits, you’re not getting serviced til next month). a lot of loud foot traffic, the windows don’t close properly but management won’t do anything about them. oh, and theres always so much trash in the sidewalk (today there was clumped cat litter in FRONT of the open trash can outside) right by the apartment and on top of the mailboxes
