“Pros: There’s only a total of 6 units in the building which is nice when it comes to noise. The bedrooms are very big and the actual size of the unit wasn’t bad. It’s close to the 6 train which is convenient. The management isn’t great but not horrible. Cons: These units need major upgrading. The walls grew mold on them because they weren’t properly insulated. There’s 10 coats of paint on the wall. The bathroom had holes and cracks in the wall which led to a cockroach issue in the summer. The layout of the apartment is super long with almost no windows which makes it unbearably hot in the summer with limited AC options. It’s also on 3rd Ave which gets very loud, especially in the morning when tractor trailers are coming into the city. Advice to landlord: With some upgrades, this building could be great!”
