Conveniently Located Between a Headache and a Health Code Violation
Pros
The building’s location is ideal, offering easy access to everything you need—perfect for anyone who values convenience and being at the heart of things.
Cons
Here, you get the full package—pest-friendly rooms, noise-friendly walls, and leak-friendly ceilings—with a not-so-friendly lease to tie it all together. They’ve got you covered… sort of.
Advice to the owners
If you ever manage to track down whoever’s responsible for this building, let them know I’m still waiting on a refund—or at the very least, an apology and a mop.
Overpriced now; but was a great starter apartment
Pros
It was a very cute place, nice, good air quality (you could leave your windows open and not get tons of dust, good air pressure; presar building). If you attend FIT, it’s obviously super convenient location and I loved being able to run back to my place between or even during classes lol. Good closet space, fire escape you can get out the window to easily. Gets hot as fresh hell in the winter when the heaters turn on which you don’t pay for, but I actually liked that because I left the windows cracked in the middle of winter and got fresh air. Friendly super, but rarely needed. Again: biggest pro is definitely being an FIT student, it’s just super convenient. Good little college place, good for being fresh out of the dorms.
Cons
We moved out because they wouldn’t negotiate rent during Covid when it was overpriced, and I think it remained overpriced. Dealing with management was always awful, although thankfully we only had to a few times. Packages were stolen regularly, and there was some crime in the building, someone even breaking a first floor apartments door knob off. Super sleazy broker and big brokers fee though, and super shady lease although didn’t find out until after the fact lol.
Advice to the owners
Skip the broker! And find better management.
