Amazing price, old building and small. Good super
Pros
Amazing price, has central A/C. Not many places left at this price in the area
Cons
It's an old building and very small.
Idiotic Super and Bad Management
Pros
The building is well placed, Trader Joe’s and Target wasn’t far. Madison Square Park was only a few blocks away. The closet in one bedroom was amazing. For what it was and what we paid during the pandemic it was great.
Cons
The trash collection was right as you walk into the hallway and often became overfull which made entering and exiting an annoying obstacle course as the super would often disappear without notice and his replacement didn’t do much. At one point our fridge broke and instead of telling the management his solution was “Put your food in a plastic bag and hang it out the window. It’s freezing outside.” … in what world is 50° freezing? The management was slow to act in any situation. After Hurricane Ida my roommate had a leak from his ceiling and subsequently a hole formed. We moved out with said hole intact. The apartment was a converted one bedroom and as such there are no windows in the living room and no closet in one bedroom. There were also no ceiling lights in the bedrooms. It needed renovating. The neighbors were loud, stamped upstairs constantly and screamed on their terrace or threw their trash onto another terrace which caused a lot of disagreement. They changed the ringer system while I was there and only put down one roommate not the both of us which was weird. The management had one portal each for each person on the lease to pay their portion of the rent but never informed or warned me that my roommate was not paying the rent.
