Optimal location, affordable price, and friendly neighbors!
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartment building is very clean; staff clean the hallways and common spaces at least twice a day. I haven't had any issues with bugs or rodents, which is a huge plus in NYC. The building is also within a ten-minute walk to the C, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains, and the commute to central Manhattan is only about thirty minutes. You don't have to travel far though as there are plenty of restaurants, stores, and bars nearby.
Cons:
The mail room is chaotic. All packages go to a small, closet-like room, which the entire building has to share. The room is often occupied and messy, and packages can easily get lost or stolen.
Advice to owner:
Consider using an Amazon pick up location.

Management is better than usual NYC apartments
Former Tenant
Pros:
The management building is quite responsive to problema entre m they can easily fix. The building is very clean and the supers live here so make things easier.

During heavy rains, we have had some leaks in the apartment (in few of them from what I heard) and the building does totally fix the problem.
Advice to owner:

Former Tenant
Pros:
Super is great and responsive; common spaces kept pretty clean; regular pest control
Cons:
Mailroom is an organizational mess; elevators are slow and rickety; can’t control heat in winter.
Advice to owner:
Improve package system for mail; post signage around procedures for entry/etc on an announcement board with enclosure
