Overpriced now; but was a great starter apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
It was a very cute place, nice, good air quality (you could leave your windows open and not get tons of dust, good air pressure; presar building). If you attend FIT, it’s obviously super convenient location and I loved being able to run back to my place between or even during classes lol. Good closet space, fire escape you can get out the window to easily.
Gets hot as fresh hell in the winter when the heaters turn on which you don’t pay for, but I actually liked that because I left the windows cracked in the middle of winter and got fresh air. Friendly super, but rarely needed.
Again: biggest pro is definitely being an FIT student, it’s just super convenient. Good little college place, good for being fresh out of the dorms.

Cons:
We moved out because they wouldn’t negotiate rent during Covid when it was overpriced, and I think it remained overpriced. Dealing with management was always awful, although thankfully we only had to a few times. Packages were stolen regularly, and there was some crime in the building, someone even breaking a first floor apartments door knob off. Super sleazy broker and big brokers fee though, and super shady lease although didn’t find out until after the fact lol.
Advice to owner:
Skip the broker! And find better management.
