Reviews

affordable but has flaws

Pros

price non invasive management and super location (close to popular restaurants and bars)

Cons

elevator frequently out of service water pressure and water heat frequently out of service mice and cockroaches occasionally homelessness and drug use in front of / near building

Former tenant·just now

Good no-frills Midtown apartment

Pros

Very convenient location. I really liked my apartment. My neighbors in building were really nice. Viking Property Management is solid and takes things seriously when you escalate to them. Rent increases were predictable $100-200 each year.

Cons

You're subjected to normal Midtown noise if you have a front-facing apartment. I had a mouse problem on the 5th floor and the exterminator would only come every other Saturday . The super was nice but sometimes brushed issues off. No laundry in building.
