Former Tenant
Pros:
Pros: HVAC systems, renovated
Cons:
Cons: Mail is just thrown all over the lobby, super was almost not responsive ever, small apartment for the price
Advice to owner:
Stop raising the rent when you're not responsive and the sizes of the apartments are barely livable. Some rooms have no windows

Owners very unhelpful
Former Tenant
Pros:
Unit was decently priced, had some newer appliances
Cons:
Bed bug problem immediately upon moving in that was a direct result of slum lord behavior of the landlord. There was a lower income family living in a rent stabilized unit one floor below me who told me that the landlord had been doing work in their apartment, but had left a big hole in their floor and never covered it up. As a result the family was dealing with horrible infestations of bed bugs, roaches, and mice, which spread to other parts of the building including my apartment. I assume this was to force the family out in order to renovate their unit and rent out at a higher price.
Advice to owner:
Treat tenants like human beings
