Okay for what it is, could be better
Former Tenant
Pros:
I like the area - conveniently located next to two large grocery stores, one block from the train, and multiple parks nearby. The area feels safe at night, probably because we are near comlumbia's campus.
Cons:
The building is very dirty - there is alway trash or dog pee in the stairs, the trash is overflowing outside and 109th street is known locally as "rat block". We also had a big roach problem in the kitchen when we first moved in. It's cleared up now but took some time, some of our own cleaning/bug proofing, etc.
Advice to owner:
Clean the common spaces more regularly, and have a better trash system. Also, the kitchen cabinets could use a lot of updating. They have years of grime build up, flaked paint scraps from the ceiling. (could it be lead paint?) and generally falling apart.

overall good but overpriced
Former Tenant
Pros:
Best location in the city, responsive management most of the time, very few pests
Cons:
Right next to a school so it's very loud during the day, heat is broken sometimes, they're charging too much cause they know the college kids will pay it
