Fine for first apartment
Pros
The loft style bedrooms were cool
Cons
Freezing no real heat Packages stolen They promised to paint before we moved in and then refused to
Cheap starter apartment
Pros
It's an okay space in a crap building and honestly, the bodega across the street is the main attraction. That bodega is the only reason I've lived here as long as I did.
Cons
Packages will go missing and management will not do anything about it (despite the "camera" on the first floor.) The code to the front door is often faulty and management is willfully unaware. The stairs are definitely a safety hazard as the steps wabble and the railing is barely holding on, which management has never cared to fix in my years living here. Used to be able to access the roof which was a major appeal, but that is no longer the case.
Advice to the owners
Maybe come by the building sometime? You might be a bit shocked as to how severely this building has been neglected.
