Tenant for last year and a half
Pros
- the super is very responsive when text / call - well lit staircase - room is quiet - exterminator comes every month free of charge - spacious apt layout and the rooms aren’t on top of eachother and it gets a lot of light
Cons
- packages often get stolen - street has a lot of rats compared to other areas, but consistent with most of alphabet city - bathroom is on small side
2 Year Tenant
Pros
Live-In Super is typically responsive if you call, however maintenance and fixes can still take up to a week. Stairs are cleaned every now and then (2x a year maybe?) Pest control every month Large roof access Amazing location - several restaurants, coffee, laundromat and grocery options Nice neighbors - a mix of students and long time tenants
Cons
Lots of rats on the street, especially on trash days Sometimes they close off access to the roof, and install a super loud alarm that is triggered by sound I lived in 6th floor, so walking up and down was a hassle. Heat can be really strong, and you can control it.
