Great building and staff but rigid & money-minded landlord

Pros

Great location with connectivity with many transit lines within walking distance Doorman and maintenance teams are friendly and responsive Small studio but with good layout + energy efficient central AC & heat + balcony

Cons

Tried to sublet / transfer my lease but landlord made it difficult and tried to take as much money off tenants as they can. The building is rent-stabilized but landlord tried to unstabilize and lease out my unit at a ridiculously high "market" rate. Location is very convenient to get around, but may lack a neighborhood vibe.
