Cheap rent, responsive management
Pros
We've enjoyed our time here. Apartments are pretty narrow, but decent space for the price. Ours had high ceilings and was a studio loft--great deal! Most street facing units have sliding glass doors to the fire escape--our only window, but it was definitely nice to have. Management usually very responsive to any problems. Live-in super is personable and effective, though always needed to follow up on when he was coming by.
Cons
Hallways are a bit grungy, though they did finally paint over the garish wallpaper. We could frequently smell food and smoke in the hallway, but that didn't travel into our apartment. Elevator breaks down quite a bit, as do the machines in the laundry room.
Not an ideal place to live
Pros
Nice people live in the building and great super!
Cons
Where to start.. the cockroaches and mice were out of control. It wasn’t bad when I first moved it but over the last 2 years it got much worse. I got sick from an incredible amount of mold in my unit, there was so much a wall had to be replaced! Then no cooking gas for months on end and no one ever came to put back together my kitchen after one day someone came with No warning and took all the cabins to do repairs to another unit. To top things off I have a piece of building fall onto and concuss me. Building is very bad shape, very dirty and smelly in the common areas. If you have a problem you might as well fix it yourself no one else is going to. Elevator was out for over 10 weeks it was sad to se the older people be carried up to their units. Lots of people smoke inside and the smoke smells travels throughout the building. Not willing to negotiate rent even after raising it over $500 per month.
Advice to the owners
Replace the carpets in the hall
