What a mess.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super was really nice.
The overall unit was spacious and had multiple bathrooms.
Elevator is nice to have for high floor units
Used to be beautiful in its heyday when it was owned by attentive management. Guts of building are gorgeous but very neglected

Cons:
Sketchy landlords. Rebranded under a new name to obfuscate.
Shoddy contracting work. Unfinished floors, sloped counters, one of the repair people stole our router prior to move in
Landlord tries to dodge and get out of sending security deposits back to you unless you chase aggressively
Stabilized but they will harass you while you are there
Mice and rats EVERYWHERE
Neglected trash chute
Filthy floors because they are unfinished
My bedroom ceiling literally started falling on top of me
Room heat was like the surface of the sun and no control over heat any time of year.

Great location and price, awful building management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very conveniently located near the B and Q trains
Quiet building, no riff raff.
Super is a nice guy and lives in building.
Rent stabilized, below market value
Apartment updates, renovations as old families move out

Cons:
halls and trash rooms only moderately well maintained. Building refuses to do work to the trash rooms to secure from bugs.
Bedbugs in building!! Building management turns a blind eye and refuses to treat. Annual bedbug filing notice on lobby wall is 4 years old, refuses to post current version despite repeated requests.
Building management refuses to comply with certain recycling requirements and does not compost. After a year of requests to install compost bins, they put one out but they don’t actually use it. Anything that goes into it just gets thrown with the trash.
Building management largely unresponsive to email.
They are also cheap cheap cheap.

Replace current property manager with someone responsive, understands the job and gets things done.
