It’s fine if you really need somewhere to live and have no other options
Pros
People in the building are great
Cons
Ongoing issues with leaking/crumbling ceiling, roaches, broken mailboxes. Management will respond to issues but take no initiative to actually improve things. Windows in some apartments are like tissue paper and let in noise from an otherwise quiet block. Have to pay for own heat in the winter which even being mindful and always turning it off when not home made my electric bill $200/month
No sunlight, far from subway
Pros
Space-wise apartment was good for the price
Cons
- Creepy super - tenant pays for heat and it’s badly setup and very expensive due to poor isolation - Neighbors have loud parties with speakers until 5am or play one record on repeat all day/night. This is fine if you enjoy blasting music too - Found a mouse in apartment once, but other than that no issues - Long walk to subway (over 10 mins) - Depending on unit, no chance of direct sunlight anywhere
