“Pros: Landlord is friendly and lovely and lives in the building. It’s been in her family for years. The worst I ever saw were fruit flies. Cons: Almost nothing - there’s definitely a smoker on the first floor so the hallway always smells like cigarettes.”

— 506 EAST 13 STREET · Manhattan“Unit 20 Pros: Location is prime, never saw a bug, live in super, high ceilings, water pressure is fine Cons: Building super chain smokes in his first floor apartment and it makes the whole building smell. Construction right next door (2021). Some bar close by blasts music all weekend long, neighbors can also be loud on the weekend. Super wouldn’t remove window air conditioning unit for the winter. Hallways could be cleaner Advice to landlord: Stop smoking inside.”
