Renter for 3 years
Pros
Affordable rent stabilized apartment, with decent space and location
Cons
Building management is really slow to respond. Building doesn’t alert tenants when safety is compromises. Over the past 3 years of living here there has been multiple situations that were not communicated to residencies. There is a lack of transparency. The building management, also takes months to fix any broken equipment in the gym.
Decent no frill building - if cheap
Pros
Clean, decently managed and used to be non-expensive (no frill luxury building)
Cons
Starting to get old (&price goes up), no real vent in the kitchen, walls are thin so if you have loud neighbours it's over
