Could be much better

Pros

Location: decent restaurants, very close to subway, relatively safe

Cons

Noisy corporate tenants on ground level; superintendent is good but owners show very little care for the building; halfway house on block hosts homeless, drug addicts, alcoholics, and recently released inmates, all of which cause various issues; laundry units are shared with restaurants which leave food debris, washers don't clean well, dryers can't handle large loads; rent is about $100/sqft on annualized basis which is far too high, trash management is poor, space between buildings is absolutely filthy, stairway is smelly; windows are never cleaned; doors have large gaps that leak air; intercom is constantly broken.

Nice little walkup on a great block

Pros

Classic walkup, sturdy steps, good amount of windows

Cons

There is a whistling sound in the winter coming from the roof. The heating isn't great, and it's an old walkup in general.
