    Willfully incompetent management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful apartment, nice neighbors
    Cons:
    Management left us with severe maintenance issues for months at a time, and were unresponsive and incompetent when communicating or solving issues.

    Don’t live here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large, apartments with character, good storage space
    Cons:
    Roach infestation is disgustingly out on control for over a year. They are incessant, management slaps non existent band aids over the issue.

    Fine for a starter apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Decent price, near the subway, semi-renovated, on-site super, included heat/hot water, laundry on site
    Cons:
    Crumbling stairs, near-illegal low heat in winter, inconsistent water heat/pressure, shoddy work on "renovations", at least one burst pipe disaster
    Advice to owner:
    Doing things cheap means they break more often, do it better and clean up a bit
