Apartments are made of sheetrock. No insulation.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Spacious apartment, nothing more.
Cons:
Apartments here have no sort of insulation. We live on a second floor. We can hear our neighbor below (1D) TV when he plays it loud, and when he plays music at night while we’re trying to sleep. We can hear other tenants conversations above (3D) when they’re talking. Every footstep they take, their pet running back and forth, or when they drag furniture, when something drops on the floor. Worst part is when you’re trying to sleep and all you can hear is people’s footsteps or their animal running wild above. This is one of the worst experience my wife and I have had living in an apartment. We rented the apartment without seeing it in person since we were in Ireland, which turned out to be the worst mistake ever. Also, even when the windows are closed you can hear everything that goes on outside. We are living a nightmare here.
Advice to owner:
Why don’t you spend some money making sure these apartments are well insulated, specially when you’re allowing tenants to have pets in their apartments.

Fine place
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is great, so close to the subway with lots around to do and eat.
Cons:
Bugs! There always happened to be bugs in the apartment, the elevator is old and could use anything to make it look nicer.
Advice to owner:
Redo the elevator even if it’s just redoing the “wallpaper” also pest control!
