The neighborhood is nice and the building would be better if they had better upkeep, super and cleanliness.

The trade off is you will be dealing with a terrible management, mice and flies. The super doesn’t do a good job if you need something done. Waited for months to get a light fixed and over a year for other repairs that haven’t been completed by him or sent through the management; while he enjoys discounted rent and has loud guests. Kathy in the "office" is extremely rude and unprofessional. She doesn't answer you if its not about money and she thought you needed to sign a check in order for rent to be sent to the office and then charged a late fee for her incompetence.

PESTS: The entire building gets mice - your apartment floor doesn’t matter. For a building built in the 2010s there shouldn’t be mice in apartments and throughout the building. You will also deal with fly infestations during the warmer months.

There will be a random letter one day saying an exterminator is coming and they never show up. The elevator usually stinks and the super doesn’t upkeep. People don’t stay in this building for more than 2 years and you have to wonder why someone would leave a "rent stabilized." Keep in mind they will increase the rent as much as possible regardless of these issues. The gym also has broken equipment.

Renters are in an agreement with management; you're not doing anyone a favor. The least you can do is exterminate the building and have a super who does their job.

Clean and has nice layout

Pipes burst cause leaks when it gets very cold
Living with mice, they’re in the walls and on the ceiling constantly walking around.
