    Beautiful apartments. Terrible heating!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors are nice and you rarely get your packages stolen. Apartments are beautiful and very spacious. Lots of closet space.
    Cons:
    The heating is awful and the windows don't help. They are older windows and the draft feels like they're open. They are super thin windows as well, so you hear everything. In addition to the lack of heating having the windows in such a poor state means the apartments aren't able to retain the little heat they give. Apartments are beautiful and spacious, but poorly maintained. Floors squeak and door knobs are constantly falling off. Has a problem with pink bacteria and mold.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop turning the heat off over night.

    Building is fine
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent is ok considering how ridiculous NYC rent has become. Neighbors are generally friendly. Only issue is the 1 apartment that plays really loud music.
    Cons:
    Heat is the worst part. Laundry room is the 2 worst part. Machines are outdated, not maintained, and don’t wash properly and we can’t have our own machines in unit. Parking is also pretty difficult.
