plenty of pests
Pros
The apartments are spacious, have good light, and the top floor apartments have roof decks.
Cons
My apartment was riddled with pests. Not only did we have an extensive spider mite situation (which eventually, the owner handled), but the apartment had endless cockroaches and a few mice.
Best for Convenience of Location
Pros
-close to various train stations (1, A, C, E, N, R, F) -right on a lively avenue with many bars and restaurants in Hell’s kitchen -the actual apartment building is very quiet and you don’t hear any outside noise even though it’s on one of the busiest avenues -the super is quick to respond -the men who handle the garbage room are very friendly and come daily to clean it out -pet friendly -most neighbors are quiet and considerate -no issues with packages being delivered or stolen
Cons
-the water pressure is on the weak side and the plumbing is not good -many of the apartments only have kitchenettes -building has had summons for not being up to code -the building is susceptible to pests due to area; the garbage room will have several large rats throughout the night until the men clean it out during the day -the heat is barely there in the bedroom compared to living space -overall maintenance could be improved on -door buzzers have broken several times -mailbox is janky and some don’t close all the way
