Pros: Living in Lower East Side is one of the only pros this building provides. While it is nice that the building is away from the loud chaos that is Orchard and Ludlow Streets, being by the bridge is a blessing for bike riders/runners (but a nuisance for sound and characters on the street). The building cleanliness and pests have improved slightly since they've hired a new person who takes the trash out. Cons: - Trash cans are inside the building - Management does not provide lids, and residents are too lazy to walk down the stairs to dispose of trash properly. This results in smells, piles of trash, no access to the recycling bins further down the room, and FLIES. In the summer, flies can be severe. - Building Cleanliness - My previous building mopped once a week. Here we get a spot clean every month. There's frequently trash and litter in the hallways and outside the building. - Terrible Super - Super will gaslight you, give you attitude and take ages to fix a problem. He lives in another borough, so if there's an emergency, it's unlikely you'll get assistance. - Theft - There are no cameras, and theft from other residents occurs often. Advice to landlord: Get a new, responsible super who lives in or closer to the building, or pay him more and stop overworking him. CLEAN THE BUILDING. Maintain it, and hold tenants accountable for keeping it to that standard.

Unit 8 Pros: Definitely More spacious than other LES 2 bedroom apts at this price Cons: - German cockroach infestation (it’s still there) - mice running thru all the time - building has caught on fire twice in our 1 year lease - during the first one, we realized there were zero smoke detectors in our apt. Super tried to sneakily install one after the fact but he didn’t fool anyone. - old and dirty appliances - the floor is uneven. Literally slanting downward across the whole apartment. - Broken tiles in the kitchen that were never fixed despite our complaining about it on day 1 of lease - extremely loud and exposed to corner of Rivington / Clinton - property managers do not care about you whatsoever Advice to landlord: There’s no point cuz I know you don’t care :/

Pros: It is close to the subway. Cons: The cockroaches, glass and trash on the stairs, absolutely DISGUSTING smell of trash coming from the trash hole in the basement. The time there was a fire and they broke every door and didn’t tell anyone. The hundreds of flies that go in your face.

Pros: Location is good, close to restaurants and bars. Cons: Landlord is not doing things by code, the stairwell has cracks all over the walls, garbage is never taken out and not kept in a place where rats wouldn’t get to it. Advice to landlord: Get professional cleaners

Pros: Lots of nearby restaurants, cafes, and bars. Close to laundromat, Target and Trader Joes. Cons: There were many pests found throughout the summer months despite having the exterminator come through. Advice to landlord: Make more of an effort taking care of the apartments

Pros: Decent area, nice neighbors Cons: Management is so irresponsible with maintenance. Rude super who does not give a crap about fixing anything. Acts like you killed his dog when you ask him to take care of something simple. Advice to landlord: Fix the structural issues and stop raising rents and not doing anything to help your tenants.

Pros: The neighborhood and neighbors Cons: Immediately smells like trash and wet rodents. You can hear them rummaging as you walk by. Dirty stairs. Advice to landlord: Better keep up in the halls/stairs/mailroom
