Pros
Perfectly situated 5 minutes walking from train station , nice and quiet at night whilst still gettin the comforting sounds of the distant train, 24hrs tasty Caribbean restaurant ( affordable) in the neighborhood . Great skyline view if you’re on a high floor . Nice quiet building most days perfect for singles and small families . Property manager is nice and willing to work with you on rent if you fall a little behind
Cons
Major ongoing pest issue , first year I moved in was great but after a year or so all of a sudden pests in every nook and cranny and haven’t changed habits or leave food out , couldn’t get help from super and exterminator visits not much help either . Hard sometimes for packages to get delivered into building

206 East 196
Pros
Building is quiet and residents are polite. Super is responsive to any issue you need him for.
Cons
Building has a roach infestation. Was forced to move out 2 months before the end of my lease due to the conditions. They were everywhere and this is no exaggeration. Coming out of base boards, out the floors, roaches walking through hallways and into my apartment through creases in front door. I woke up to them in my bed. Truly a nightmare that even pest control couldn’t control. Boric Acid, Mint, roach glue, bleach etc. nothing worked. Do not move into this building at any cost. Roaches are an enormous issue here.
Advice to the owners
Demolish the building as the roaches have settled in and are living rent free!
