Nice but still a slum
Former Tenant
Pros:
Most neighbors are nice and friendly. Super is great.
Cons:
The owners just want money and try to dismiss every legitimate problem that comes up. The old owner, Mr. Fox, was very kind and professional. His son-in-law, Ben, seems kind of mentally slow and just wants money above all else.

Building is not updated. It’s very dark on the inside and you will see lots of mice and roaches in your apartment.

There are also BAD neighbors in this building. Non-stop screaming, floor/ceiling-shaking fistfights, smoking in the stairwell and lobby, the list goes on. Given that they’re charging $2300+ to live here, it’s shocking how little attention is paid to making it a comfortable place to live.
Advice to owner:
Do your job, update the old, disgusting apartments whenever possible (build new walls and add insulation), pay your super a fair salary for all the hard work that he does.
