Great building, absolutely terrible management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location (blocks away from the 4-5-6 and Q lines)
Simple layout (easy to clean)
Great artificial lighting
High ceilings
Cons:
Very small unit (under 400 square ft)
Water leaked from unit above
Steam pipes turn unit into an oven in the winter
Closet is laughably small
Poor natural lighting
Management not responsive for basic repairs

Note: be very careful with your security deposit. Management will try to keep it. Make sure that you keep all communication in writing.
Advice to owner:
Work on tenant and supervisor relationships

Good apartments, management not great
Former Tenant
Pros:
High ceilings, great renovated apartments with new appliances and exploded brick. Easy to pay rent electronically.
Cons:
Walk up. Building switched owners during my tenure. New owners attempted to keep security deposit for fake reasons until threatened with legal action. Took over a month to get our deposit back.
