Pros
Location and price are generally the only pros about this building. Also, our apartment was a decent size, so I'll give it that too.
Cons
We had constant infestations of bed bugs. Our super was generally unresponsive/unhelpful when we asked for help, especially when it pertained to our neighbor who was HORRIBLE (think: lighting a fire in his fireplace that didn't actually have an opening and therefore almost burning down our building, and also throwing huge parties during covid). If you can afford to live somewhere else, do it.
Advice to the owners
Do your f*cking job!
It could be worse
Pros
Rent is affordable for the area The location is great, central to everything and feel super safe at all times Nice kitchen Sunny and good view from windows Really amazing and very helpful super Feeling of safety in the building Nice neighbors Apartment looks nice Full size tub Closet space could be worse No rats
Cons
The sounds from the midtown tunnel are no joke, gets really loud sometimes when there’s construction and they do construction late at night so this is not great for those who are sensitive to sound Roach infestation most likely - they’re everywhere in the lobby/stairs/staircase walls/neighbors doors Management isn’t very responsive, will have to email or call multiple times to get something done Pest control is difficult to reach Steep stairs The hallways just smell bad randomly
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive to phone calls and emails when there’s something wrong in the apartment Do something about the roach infestation
