    Has potential to be good
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Security and Garbage Management. The service people work nicely. Clean apartment building.
    Cons:
    Huge Issue with Heat and Hot Water. It seems like we never have heat. I know for a fact they are violating the heat law in nyc. We’ve had no heat in 30 degree weather outside (sometimes even lower than that). Floors are creaky. Apartment makes sound.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the heat issue man.
