    High rent, poor conditions and getting worse
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Despite its drawbacks, this apartment building does have a couple of silver linings. Its prime location provides residents with convenient access to various amenities and services. Additionally, the in-building superintendent stands out as a positive aspect, being both amiable and responsive to residents' needs, offering a helpful and supportive presence in the midst of other challenges.
    Cons:
    Washer and dryer consistently broken
    Elevator gets stuck
    Packages often stolen
    Leaking ceilings
    Flies everywhere in the summer
    Water and power often shut off without warning
    Incredibly thin walls (can hear your neighbors cough)
    Hand over fist rent hikes each year (10%+)
    Poor sustainability rating from the city
    Pests (both roaches and mice) often in apartments and building
    Little to no support from building management
    Advice to owner:
    Either do better or stop raising the rent astronomicaly

    Amazing Chelsea Patio
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Our terrace on the 6th floor (Penthouse) was simply outstanding. One of the best kept secrets in NYC.
    Cons:
    The neighborhood got pretty seedy. Without a doorman, people would go in when the door was left open and our packages were stolen multiple times.
    Advice to owner:
    Make sure people lock the front door. Perhaps partner with the buiding next door to allow them to receive tenant packages.
