    a roach motel
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    some great neighbors, thomas at the front desk is a sweetheart, sort of convenient.
    Cons:
    some terrible neighbors, trash room on each floor attracts pests with these weird open bins, roaches in the hallway, roaches on the elevator panel, roaches in the elevator, roaches in my apartment
    Advice to owner:

    Great affordable units
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent stabilized so rent only goes up by a small percentage each year. The doormen and bulging staff are very helpful and friendly. The units are spacious and have lots of closet space. The building is very convenient—located near the subway and lots of good restaurants and bars. Units facing the street may be too loud for some people, but it doesn’t bother me.
    Cons:
    Too cold in the winter. The units are not sound proofed well so I hear my upstairs neighbors often. Common areas (like the laundry room) need to be updated and cleaned.
    Advice to owner:
    The laundry room needs to be cleaned and common areas need to be updated. The patio is not well utilized—should put more chair outside and plans do people can enjoy it.
