Not bad unless you have problems or need to contact the super / management
Pros
I love the location, people that live in the building are super friendly. The apartment is pretty spacious for New York and you’re close to the subway.
Cons
Worst management experience I’ve had in New York. Another resident stole a package and management did not respond for several weeks and after several attempts to contact. Although it’s an older building, management does absolutely nothing to keep it clean or maintain the building. They rarely clean the shared spaces and hallways (maybe once or twice every six months) and don’t schedule month pest control visits for residents. If you do put in a maintenance request, good luck the super also doesn’t respond. One maintenance request took around 4 months and several attempts to contact before it was fixed. On the other end, if you put in a maintenance request bc of a broken heater or pest control, something that requires another company it will be scheduled without management notifying you so hopefully you’re home whenever they decide to come!
Ehhhh a pretty bad experience
Pros
New when I moved in...
Cons
I lived in the 1st fl/basement. I redid the backyard and made it beautiful, but the mosquitoes were bad. The basement flooded and a pipe burst causing everything I own to mold.
