Avoid at all costs

Pros

Nice looking apartment with big windows

Cons

This building is falling apart and filthy. Beware of mice infestation. Multiple apartments have had mice over the past year. It's a poorly maintained building and all of the appliances are breaking. While the super and maintenance are very pleasant to work with, management is terrible and nasty.
