It Is What It Is
Former Tenant
Pros:
The high ceilings, relatively spacious living room & closet space (I assume most units are of a similar layout) were attractive in and of themselves. I might have a strong bias, as the unit was rent stabilized.
Cons:
The building is under-managed & the public spaces, such as the lobby, stairway, garden/mini courtyard, etc are generally dingy and worn. There have been some updates to some areas, such as the double door, but overall the building is old and under-maintained.
Advice to owner:
Clean the stairs, courtyard, and lobby floors more often. Replace the flooring in the lobby. Re-paint the walls in the stairwell. Update the lighting fixtures.

House of Mouse
Former Tenant
Pros:
There were two heavy doors at the entrance (second required building key), which gave the building some security. There is also an elevator, it worked most of the time but every now and then was out of order. The super is very friendly and helpful, and very responsive. The building is also a 3 minute walk from the ABCD subway lines. There is also an excellent 24 hour deli a 5 minute walk away.
Cons:
The worst thing about this building is the mouse problem. I lived there for 3 years, and over the past year in my apartment, my roommates and I caught 20+ mice (we kept count), despite us being extremely clean and organized. We requested extermination multiple times, and an exterminator would come and spray any openings in the apartment, but the mice would still come. Eventually the super came and checked behind the stove and fridge and found multiple holes in the walls, but said they were only allowed to close the ones behind the stove? So mice kept coming after that. I moved out so I don't know if the problem was actually resolved. Other than that the only problem was amazon packages being stolen every now and then.
Advice to owner:
Proper extermination

Management that only cares about the $$
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building is generally clean
Cons:
No working cameras so package can be stolen, heating is spotty and sometimes completely off in winter. Super does not respond right away for repairs. Rent isnt updated on their online portal accurately, will take months to reflect accurately or you have to contact management. Nothing is done for noise complaints or them upholding the lease agreement. They will take you to court straightaway if you threaten to leave due to unsafe conditions. Construction is done without notice to tenants and earlier than 8am. Mice are in building.
Advice to owner:
Uphold your duty as property owners as per NY housing laws as well as lease agreements that go both ways instead of only caring about money.
