Unit 1 Pros: responsive super, good neighbors, quiet (couldn't hear the restaurant at all). Cons: we had repeated problems with roaches that came from the apartment above us. super was good about extermination for us, though. they didnt deal with the root problem though..

Pros: - the super is very responsive when text / call - well lit staircase - room is quiet - exterminator comes every month free of charge - spacious apt layout and the rooms aren’t on top of eachother and it gets a lot of light Cons: - packages often get stolen - street has a lot of rats compared to other areas, but consistent with most of alphabet city - bathroom is on small side

Unit 20 Pros: Live-In Super is typically responsive if you call, however maintenance and fixes can still take up to a week. Stairs are cleaned every now and then (2x a year maybe?) Pest control every month Large roof access Amazing location - several restaurants, coffee, laundromat and grocery options Nice neighbors - a mix of students and long time tenants Cons: Lots of rats on the street, especially on trash days Sometimes they close off access to the roof, and install a super loud alarm that is triggered by sound I lived in 6th floor, so walking up and down was a hassle. Heat can be really strong, and you can control it. Advice to landlord: None

★★★★Jan 2021

Pros: Located on a quiet street as it is a dead end street. Cons: Everything. RATS! Landlord still has yet to return our security deposit. It’s has been OVER 6 months! They won’t even respond to us. Very unprofessional. Do not keep the building up. We certainly overpaid for what we had. Advice to landlord: Respond to your tenants and return security deposits that you are required to give back.
