Good and Bad in East Harlem
Former Tenant
Pros:
Convenient to 6 train, not too far from 4 and 5 trains, many grocery stores in the neighborhood
Cons:
No doorman or security, corner of 116 and Lex is extremely dicey, lots of methadone clinics/gang members in the area
Advice to owner:
Secure the front door and get a more responsive superintendent, Recently updated apartments are modern and nicely done--more of that in the building would be ideal.
