Quiet & Secure

Pros

Quiet and secure. Super was responsive.

Cons

Getting security deposit back was challenging. If they saw 1 nail, they wanted it removed and patched. Did eventually get it back , but took time.

Former tenant·11 months ago

Great place to live

Pros

Building super, neighbors, rent controlled, clean common spaces, great location near the park and train, large apartments.

Cons

The whole area has a rat problem, so I can't blame the owners and super. The super tries his best, but it is really the city's problem. The street can get loud because of the hotel on the corner, but that's part of living in NYC. There are always cops around.
