Convenient Location - that’s about it

Pros

I have an updated unit, so I don’t have any complaints about my apartment: - Good water pressure - Can be Hell hot in the winter - Super up until now has been pretty good and keeps people who don’t live in the building and cause trouble out. - Fios or Spectrum internet option

Cons

- Getting a new super that is wildly underpaid, so I don’t expect the cleanliness to be upheld. - The heat/hot water goes out a few times every winter. - Occasional pest sighting - MGMT is quite literally impossible to grt in contact with - they are in the top 10 worst landlords in the city list (literally) - Neighboring building has a bunch of drug addicts with a friend in this one and can make a lot of noise. - Packages get stolen somewhat regularly

Worst Management Ever!

Pros

Close to transit.

Cons

Terrible living conditions! Front door lock is almost always broken or duct taped to stay open. There is trash littering the interior courtyard, which attracts all types of pests. My unit did not have a gas meter (due to an error on management's part) and I have now not been able to set up gas service for SIX MONTHS due to delays/incomtence by management.
