Nice location, small unit
Pros
It's a basically perfect location (about 5mins from the F train and in the intersection of the East Village and the Lower East Side). There are no amenities in the building, except for the dishwasher in unit (which was excellent), though there's a nice and clean laundromat about 90 seconds away. Having a virtual way of buzzing people was great for deliveries. Trash management was done swiftly. The super was very responsive and kind whenever we called.
Cons
We definitely had some problems with bugs (though never saw any mice). The building was pretty regularly getting fined for, I think, leaving trash out on the street. Having no AC and no windows in the living room meant it got absolutely SWELTERING over the summer. Our rent was raised 8%, even though the unit is quite small
Good neighbors, great neighborhood, unresponsive management
Pros
Cheap rent for the area, great location, decent appliances in unit
Cons
Small apartments, takes too long for anything to get fixed, lots of patchwork in the apartments that has to be redone regularly
Advice to the owners
Add laundry to the building, fix the plumbing issues
