Pros:
Near a lot of subway lines. Never had a problem with heat.
Cons:
Trash management was insane, there was a giant “courtyard” that apartments look into where people piled giant trash- refrigerators, mattresses, along with normal trash bags. I’ve show pictures to friends and they don’t believe it’s real. Full dumpsters would be dropped outside for weeks on end bc management didn’t schedule/pay for pickups. Huge rat problem.
Big dead roaches would sit in the hallways for days at a time, noisy neighbors and area.
When we moved in, we had a bad German cockroach infestation and the dishwasher and dryer did not work. Extermination was difficult and complicated to schedule, and at one point the exterminator didn’t show up because building Managment hadn’t paid them. Management was very difficult to get a hold of and unresponsive. This is a not nice building charging nice busking prices.
After move out, security deposits were not sent until we pestered repeatedly, and then the checks bounced. We eventually got working checks but we had to jump through a lot of hoops to get there.
