Great experience there - amazing super
Former Tenant
Pros:
The super is amazing. He really takes care of all tenants. Building amenities are also great - the gym and roof especially! Doormen were also awesome and kept the place safe and organized
Cons:
Homeless population around street; across the street from section 8 housing
Doormen make the place feel very safe though

Great starter apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Really friendly doormen, good clean roof deck, serviceable gym, nice well built apartments with working appliances and heating/ac. Easy enough to get a flexwall established and set up. Flex wall is full floor to ceiling, no open air. Can't get that in a lot of buildings nowadays.
Cons:
Definitely could get some young/loud neighbors, not really a family building. The street corner that it's on is okay, but there are some interesting characters that like to hang out there
Advice to owner:
Just make sure you're being responsive about people's requests in their units.

Horrible Management. You’ve been warned.
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is renovated and is in good location.
Cons:
Management is awful. Several apartments were robbed in this building from someone who had access to the keys. The building was then sold to a new owner who then preceded to double the rent (apparently legal if it’s a new owner) and then renovate apartments 7 days a week resulting in constant noise, dust, and construction for the remaining residents. Absolute hell.
