Good first apartment if you don’t mind mice
Pros
Great first apartment. Pre-war building and walk ups. In a great area and walkable to subways. Safe because it’s near Baruch college. I got it for a good price, but every year, rent goes up to meet demand. Super is responsive.
Cons
Overall, good first apartment, but I had some mice every now and then. I’d say 2 a year (top floor apt). Exterminator comes every month, but even that didn’t prevent mice from entering. If you don’t mind it, you’d like the building. One neighbor has a really loud dog though and they’ve been here for a couple years. Packages get stolen, but I just make sure I’m home during arrival.
