    Building is falling apart
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very central location, nearby Hudson River Greenway, good price
    Cons:
    Repairs are not made in a timely fashion, which makes for an unpleasant living experience.
    Advice to owner:
    Do right by your tenants. Fix the elevator and promptly respond to maintenance requests, especially when it concerns water damage.
