Decent building and management
Former Tenant

Cons:
Mice but it was resolved
Over 2 years ago
Pests and not properly taken care of
Former Tenant
Pros:
Cheap to share with friends and close to many things in Hells Kitchen
Cons:
Huge pest issue. I did a sublease here and the place I stayed at had a history of rats. I was only there for a month and they had a nice issue there and exterminator had to come to visit. There were also mice in the laundry room. They also I Had flies everywhere in the lobby. If you’re ok with pests then maybe it will work for you. The neighbors have a ton of rats next door to them. Also living in the penthouse was a nightmare as people would be partying all night and we could hear every footstep making it a nightmare at night. Super was nice but is unresponsive as well.
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive and vigilant about issues in the building. People actually live here!
