Cons:
Rent is high for almost no amenities.
Repairs will never get done until a new tenant comes in. This a major issue. Some repairs are very urgent and management essentially won’t pay for them.
Many units have had mold problems.

This is a scam
Former Tenant
Pros:
A roof over my head
Cons:
My particular unit has no street view, there are only 2 windows and they're in one of the bedrooms, with an airshaft view. Rent is $2850 for a tiny, lightless box. The building superintendent is impossible to reach and never shows up when he says he will, and when he does, he rarely addresses the issue at hand. Even for NYC this place is a scam.

Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice location, quiet
Cons:
The management is bad, they are not helpful with tenants when we need them to fix something it could take 6 months to be done.
