Not the worst, not the best
Pros
I loved having elevator access in building but that was just about one of the only good things about this building unfortunately.
Cons
There were constantly rats and other pests, and the landlord company was practically unreachable. I was unable to use my oven because it was broken for the entire duration of living there.
DANGEROUS 5TH FL NEIGHBOR
Pros
Affordable, new appliances
Cons
There is a man living here living on the 5th floor who is mentally unstable and seems to have hate and anger towards women. Violent outbursts, trespassing non the roof, and destruction of property were common occurrences in the 2 months I lived in this building across the hall from him. At the end of the second month, this man broke into my apartment through my window from the fire escape in the middle of the night. I prevented him from entering and he scaled up to the roof to his apartment across from mine and began berating my door screaming profanities. After the incident, when it became clear this man would not be held responsible for his actions by NYPD or management, I begged management to allow me to break my lease and they ignored FOR MONTHS. You have to call them every 20 minutes and threaten legal action to get them to even respond. They still have not returned my security deposit. Whole ordeal was traumatizing and expensive I’m now broke trying to find safe housing. I believe management has already filled the apartment with a new tenant despite the unsafe circumstances. Aside from that incident, trash management is horrible, packages are stolen. Building super is a nice guy who does his best.
