    Responsive Building Landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The management team of the building is very responsive to issues in the building.
    Cons:
    The feeling of living in a dorm room with the noise levels of the neighbors.

    Honestly not a bad deal for the area
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -Recently renovated rooms
    -Relatively chill landlord as far as they go
    -Close to subway, parks, grocery stores, buses, restaurants and the like
    -Lots of natural light
    -Diverse occupants; longtime Harlem residents and newcomers alike
    -Working elevator, if a bit slow
    -Attitude of landlord seems positive with improvement in mind; whether that is at the expense of current residents is yet to be seen
    Cons:
    -Package area can be a bit messy and is unguarded
    -Small roaches
    -Buzz in system a bit tricky to use
    -On the main drag, so there is a lot of noise at times
    -Not the prettiest street, though this is an issue with the city. Lots of garbage and rats on the side street, and litter on the main street.
    Advice to owner:
    Increase the frequency of pest control to bimonthly in the summers, add a security camera or other deterrent to package area until approval for Amazon locker
