Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Worst place I lived in Manhattan

Pros

5 mins away from A train.

Cons

The building is infested by mice and cockroaches. No matter how clean you are, they will come to your apartment. Neighbors are playing music extremely loud 7 days a week, you won’t be able to sleep in summer until 3am. Your shoes will stick in the hallways’ floors, they clean once a week but the trash room is downstairs and there’s no elevator so there’s trash juice everywhere. The lobby’s door is always opened, there’s no key needed. I found a homeless at 5am peeing and pooping under the stairs. I advised the super and they didn’t clean it after 3 days. If you are weed smoker this will be your dreaming place to live. Trash room is the horrors room. There are no buckets, people just throw the bags in there.

Advice to the owners

Change the super or hire a cleaning company cause cleaning is needed every single day. Do pest control in all the apartments and the entire building itself. Make a proper trash room. Fix the lobby’s door.
