Nice enough for being rent stabilized
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rent stabilized, people live there a long time, there's pest control, the people are nice and friendly, it's not too loud, there is laundry in building.
Cons:
The apartment I'm in had rats 2 winters ago and has had moths even though pest control comes once a month. The laundry in building has the smallest drums I've ever used, even after 3 cycles my laundry. The super is very nice, but isn't always easily accessible or responsive
Advice to owner:
Get better washers.

Lovely Spacey apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Dishwasher and big windows. Depending where you are in the building you can get a lot of light in your apartment. Rooms can be huge
Cons:
Can sometimes smell in the hallway. Can get your packages stolen but they are getting better about that. Doesn’t get very hot in the winter, you will need heaters. Walls are thin
