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.
Poor Building Management
Pros
Good water pressure
Cons
Landlord/owner is least responsive and very rude, and is of no help at all. Multiple layers of paint in my apartment caused damaging to the walls and excessive leaking of dirty water.
