Good affordable option
Pros
The super is great. Management cleans the common area at least once a week. Pest control is available once a month if needed but we’ve had minimal issues (a few roaches over the span of multiple years but nothing crazy). The back of the building is super quiet but I imagine units on the front get much more noise (the street is especially busy on the weekends in the summer as there are a ton of restaurants/bars with outdoor seating). Rent increases are very reasonable and the management company is willing to negotiate if you’re a good tenant. The building is mostly young post grads so some neighbors can be noisey but it’s usually just on weekends and never so bad that I can’t sleep.
Cons
Tenants can’t control the heat so some units do end up over heated.
Nice NYC Apartment
Pros
Great location, nice neighbors, responsive super, and decent space
Cons
Could get really hot in both winter and summer. Had some ground in dirt from years and years ago, hard to keep apartment looking clean. Overall, older NYC apartment with some of the same issues as other ones
