The building is nice enough, but the management sucks. I lived there for several years and recently had to move out because my rent was raised 32% in one year! - from $1800 to $2400 for an unrenovated studio apartment. The management company would not negotiate at all on the rent increase. Others in the building have had their rent increased exorbitantly as well, most have had to leave. Tenants renting a 2 BR for $2700 had their rent raised by over 100% recently, to over $5000!!! There is NO rent stabilization so they can raise the rent as much as they want, and THEY WILL RAISE THE RENT as soon as they can if the market will bear it!!!<br><br>Some other things about the building: the heat can't be controlled and is often way too high, especially during warm winters like the current one; some apartments (including mine) have slow leaks from people shutting off their radiators; the hallways are nasty looking although the lobby is quite nice; no emergency lighting in the hallways (feel your way down in a black out!); windows are old and although they are double-paned, they fill with moisture during the winter and block your view if you have one.<br><br>Also, beware if your apartment faces Christopher St. You will be totally bombarded with street noise on weekend nights, the Christopher Street weeknight crowd (i.e., trannies and those who love them) gets very rowdy and loud.
