Wow is all i can say
Former Tenant
Pros:
Not much at all
Cons:
Apartment given in disgusting condition after lying about cleaning it. Each call made to landlord about heat, exit door problems, refridgerator issues was met with excuses and arguments. Also was just walking into my apartment unannounced in the end "because the realtor is here and they want to take pictures." Upon leaving they claim that it was left worse than given (not possible as the bathroom took 12 full scrutiny downstairs to be useable) and is just looking to take my security deposit any way possible.
Advice to owner:
Get another job because all the tenants complain about you.about

Not worth it if you are a market rate tenant.
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartments are gorgeous, with great appliances and amazing views.
Cons:
80% of the units in this building are affordable housing. If you’re in the 20% of chumps paying market rate, you get absolutely nothing extra for your inflated rent and get to deal with 80% of your neighbors being rude. The building staff are ok but you don’t get as many services here as you would in other doorman buildings (the doormen will not open doors for you, no matter how much you are struggling with a heavy load, for example). Amenities are quite poor and you have to pay extra, even if you are a market rate tenant. The building does nothing special to thank its residents ever. The lobby is small and cramped and is not dog friendly. Building staff scream and cuss in the lobby while they are working. Soundproofing is not so great - I can hear the baby crying next door and frequently hear the upstairs neighbors running and jumping.
Advice to owner:
Make it worthwhile for your market rate tenants.
