Great location, old building
Pros
The women who work in the front at the landlord's office have always been really nice and helpful when we've had to contact them with a problem. Building is in a great location in hell's kitchen and we really like our floorplan. Also, directly above a laundromat, which is very convenient.
Cons
Have had issues with mice in winter and bugs in summer. My partner says the shower reminds him of the kind they have in trailers, so make of that what you will. Vinyl flooring and paint job were not done with much care. Others in our building had issues with heat going out last winter. Also there's no way to pay rent online, which, while not the end of the world, may bother some people. Landlord is not especially friendly, but we haven't really had to deal with him much. Other than that, it's basically the standard quirks you'll find in most buildings of this age.
Decent Building But Lots of Work Needed
Pros
Very spacious apartment
Cons
Very loud due to the tire shop downstairs Lots of issues with water. No hot water in shower, toilet did not flush properly, etc Mail often went missing
Advice to the owners
Entrance and stairs could be cleaner
