Great building and staff but rigid & money-minded landlord
Pros
Great location with connectivity with many transit lines within walking distance Doorman and maintenance teams are friendly and responsive Small studio but with good layout + energy efficient central AC & heat + balcony
Cons
Tried to sublet / transfer my lease but landlord made it difficult and tried to take as much money off tenants as they can. The building is rent-stabilized but landlord tried to unstabilize and lease out my unit at a ridiculously high "market" rate. Location is very convenient to get around, but may lack a neighborhood vibe.
Good for starter apartment
Pros
Overall quality is nice, no major issues like pests/bad management. Sound level is fine for being right next to subway.
Cons
Shower water pressure is a bit off, also no ventilation in bathrooms.
