Cons
First apartment in NY so I had no idea that these things weren’t normal. 1. Heat pipe under floor had burst within my first few months of living there. Bedroom became a construction zone for a week. 2. Bathroom ceiling developed black mold, became construction zone for a week. 3. Rats fighting in walls on a regular basis. 4. Cockroaches discovered on a daily basis. 5. Once found the entire wall of mail slots sitting open. 6. Best for last... burst pipe in the ceiling caused a flood in the entire apartment. Management did not refund 1 item. Took months to even indicate they were working on the problem. This whole event (flooding of the apartment) happened 4 separate times before someone new started working in the office and we were able to negotiate being releases from our lease. Worst living experience of my life.
Advice to the owners
I hope you have sorted out the curse of this building since I’ve left.
