Good enough to live
Pros
Well provided amenities, relatively clean for such an old building, good neighbors, quiet street, and an awesome location.
Cons
Roach sightings over the summer as they come up the vents, trash management was at times poor, and change of management led to crazy rent increases
Heatless Winters and Owners Who Don't Care
Pros
Lobby is nice and clean. Neighbors are quiet for the most part. Never had to deal with stolen packages.
Cons
There is very little heat in the winter—just check the thousands of HPD complaints for the building. The super, Cesar, will lie and tell you the heating system works "perfectly" while shifting the blame to every single tenant in the building for why their apartment doesn't feel warm. The property manager, Jason, is hard to get in touch with and is rude and dismissive when you do get a hold of him. Refuses to take accountability for anything and only cares about collecting your rent money. Avoid this building at all costs. Not worth it.
Advice to the owners
Take accountability and fix the issues in the building that you are well aware of. Care about your tenants.
