Pros:
Roof deck has a lovely view of the city. No issues with roaches or mice.
Cons:
Maintenance is quite lax, common areas look very run-down. There is only one washer/dryer which barely works and is often broken for weeks.
Building has built-in speakers in the ceiling of every room which tenants use to blast music at all hours of the day/night. Constant parties. People passed out or having drunken arguments on the stairs.
4A takes takes over the roof for frat parties almost every night, so good luck having any time to enjoy the view when it's not covered with beer cans, cigarette butts, and trash.
Roof furniture is mostly broken and always soggy from the rain since people don't put the cushions away after using them. The building couldn't be trusted with an umbrella because people kept leaving it open and breaking it.
Maintenance will come fix broken things in your apartment which is nice but is honestly the bare minimum. You pay for all of your own heating/cooling which is quite expensive.
Advice to owner:
Repaint the hallways—at this price point it's pretty sad how the stairs look.
