I can not recommend this building LESS. That being said, the street is super cute, in a good location with easy access to the best parts of Chelsea. My unit had amazing natural light.

Avoid this building at all costs! There are MAJOR plumbing issues in this building, and the building manager, who provides zero help whatsoever, is the rudest person I have ever interacted with. On multiple occasions, I came home to really, really disgusting sewage all over my floor. (Picture this happening when you expect to be able to shower the morning of a big meeting at work, and you suddenly cannot. Or, when you’ve invited a new friend or person you are dating over for the first time. Yeah, not fun.) On multiple occasions, there was no hot water (completely ice cold), or no running water at all, with zero notice. When this happened, the building manager refused any sort of rate abatement or quick fix, and would tell me to “stay with a friend for a few days.” Having no running water or access to any sort of bathroom (because you can’t get past the sewage on the floor without professional waste cleaners) for long periods of time is not worth the cute apartment and neighborhood. Unless you can make do with a chamber pot and bottled water on a regular basis, do not even think about living here.

Provide a habitable apartment for tenants. Do not bully tenants.

The unit is furnished and there is a garden. There are many units being rented out in this building. Mine was on the fourth floor, so beware of the owners here. It’s also in a good neighborhood, but considering the other options available, it’s not worth it.

It’s greatly overpriced. It’s a five-floor walk-up building and many of these condos are owned and then rented for a significantly higher price.

The unit is not in great condition. The apartment is extremely old and decaying. There were water bugs in the bathroom and mosquitos all in the room. The doorknob of the bathroom fell off several times. The paint was peeling off. The heater is broken. The unit is dirty as well.

My experience with renting from Orly Benun, the owner of Apartment 4B was extremely unpleasant. She is extremely invasive, rude, and violent after acquiring whatever money she needs form you. There were a multitude of issues including being extremely restrictive in what utilities you can use, and the owner also attempts to invade your privacy by browsing through your belongings.

She also makes up charges to leverage the costs onto you — very cheap and manipulative, along with extremely unpleasant.

I terminated the contract early because she was so unpleasant.

I would just forget renting from this owner.
