Pros
1. The building is in a good location so you have around 5 subway lines to choose from 2. The stairs are wide enough that it easy enough to get stuff up and down the stairs 3. Depending on your apartment you can get a lot of natural light
Cons
1. It was really difficult to get in touch with the property managers and no amount of searching the internet could find it for you 2. The steam pipes bang really loud in the late fall/winter so you will spend most of the cold months not sleeping through the night (I recorded the decibel level to be around 90 which is the equivalent of someone blowing a leaf blower in your small room) 3. The trash piles up and people feel the need to pee behind it (since they can't be seen) so the area smells of urine 4. The radiator spits water out because it doesn't close properly and the super does nothing for it 5. I was given my lease renewal two weeks before my lease (after contacting them several times) was up and they raised the price $300
Advice to the owners
Take care of your building and tenants and people will actually stay longer
