    Terrible Neighbors Owner doesn't care
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super was responsive and nice.
    Cons:
    The neighbors are way too loud. Anyone can walk into the lobby and steal packages. People would blare music from cars parked out front.

    Awful, run away. Worst building I have ever lived in.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    One neighbor on another floor.
    Cons:
    - People throwing garbage out the windows (some of which ends up on yours)
    - Rat infested garbage area
    - I hope you like roaches
    - Boiler is old and breaks down frequently, especially in winter. Save on coffee though, because you'll be wide awake
    - Dirty grimy building that is unsafe (huge section of ceiling in front of elevator collapsed at one point)
    - Packs of kids running up and down tiled hallways screaming and thumping into doors and walls
    - nightclub volume level music from multiple neighbors all hours, cops and city unresponsive
    - intercom system is on front of building, expect to have the intercom high volume shrill at you all hours, day and night
    - get good locks on your doors and secure your fire escape window, multiple apartments were broken into via fire escapes while I was here
    Advice to owner:
    Burn the damn building to the ground and start over.
