    Old building, overpriced. Chaotic block.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, somewhat responsive super, close to grand army plaza.
    Cons:
    Larger repairs will be ignored, hot water is brown, front door is always broken. Rent goes up and quality of building and units continue to crumble. Expect mice and roaches, both of which I’ve dealt with multiple times living here. Floors are extremely uneven, so expect anything on wheels or round to roll to the corners of the room (it’s like living in a FuNhOuSe!). Garbage everywhere on sidewalk around building because the neighbors here don’t care. I have certainly lived in worse buildings but this one is really crazy on the cost/value ratio and is classic nyc landlord price gouging. Anyone who rents here is a true sucker to the highest degree.
    Advice to owner:
    None- you don’t care why should I?
