    Not bad, not great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Good size, affordable apartments
    - The super is pleasant and usually reachable
    - Major issues usually resolved within a few days
    Cons:
    - Always issues with heat and hot water. The past few years have been so bad. Last year I woke up to it being 55 degrees inside the apartment and management refuses to replace the boiler. Hot water sometimes shut off overnight
    - Trash rooms instead of a trash chute so garbage sits in the building. Terrible smell on hot days
    - Roach infestations, monthly exterminator doesn't do much
    - Constant water leaks in the building
    - Extremely poor sound insulation
    - Maintenance guy has an attitude
    Advice to owner:
    Find an actual solution to the boiler issue instead of putting a bandaid on it
