Good apartment for the price
Pros
I quite enjoyed living here especially with the location. I did not have any bad pest issues as i only saw a few cockroaches when i first moved in, but i did live on a higher floor and am a tidy tentant. The butterfly entrance pad was convenient.
Cons
The walls are thin and i could hear my neighbors, especially my upstairs neighbor so beware if you are sensitive. I think my upstairs neighbor could drop a pin on the floor and i could hear it
Disgusting building with roaches, bedbugs, and smoke, in a great location
Pros
- Amazing location - Beautiful, grand old building - Big apartments for the price/neighborhood - Many neighbors are nice people - Super is helpful when you can get in touch with him and when he decides to actually come - Elevator - Decent appliances
Cons
- Super rarely responds to texts - Owner is hard to get in touch with (they never check voicemails and have no official email; emailing individual employees is usually the best bet) - Bedbugs throughout the building, neighbors are not responsible and haven't cooperated with exterminators to eliminate them for over a year now - Lots and lots of roaches - Building not kept up very well, frequently dirty common areas/basement - Anything nonessential in your unit (e.g. fridge or cabinets) will never be fixed if it breaks - People in the building smoke and it will seep through the floors - Packages often get stolen - everyone knows who the package thief is, he has relatives in the building, but nobody will do anything about it - Slow elevators - Landlord's leasing agent is dishonest - Can hear/feel the subway going by
Advice to the owners
Sell this beautiful building to someone who can actually take care of it.
