“Unit 5A Pros: The walls are thick so I'm rarely disturbed by sounds. The super is very responsive, as are the owners when needed, and the staff overall are friendly. Common areas are regularly cleaned, fixtures in the apartment are good. Neighbors are friendly. My apartment is really sunny - has both courtyard & street side windows so all rooms have good natural light. Cons: It is an old building so some things are less than perfect - elevator (although usually repaired quickly when an issue), there are some bugs (building provides regular extermination on request) and the appliances aren't brand new (doesn't bother me, might bother some!). I find the forced heat too warm in the winter (usually my apartment is in the 72-75 range) but I'm on an upper floor so maybe nothing to be done about that.”

“Pros: Classic pre war details like mouldings and high ceilings. Decent neighbors in the building. Fairly spacious rooms. Cons: Signs that point to poor maintenance and possibly even structural issues like sagging floors, cracks in walls, and random creaking noises when nobody in the apartment or above it is moving. Elevator is ancient and small but surprisingly only broke once in the 2 years I lived there. No laundry in building and nearest laundromat is at least 6 mins away but the better one is 8 mins away. The owner tried to significantly raise rent on all units including rent stabilized ones after facade repairs were completed in order to recoup costs - not sure if he succeeded because tenants fought back and the action was still stalled by the time I left. Advice to landlord: Consider repairing floors and checking for structural issues.”

★★★★★Aug 2022

“Pros: Location is good. Some of the other tenants are friendly. Cons: Constant problems with cockroaches - I'm talking five years and running, even with a spotless professionally cleaned apartment. The management is impossible to get ahold of (they never answer their phone or return messages) and we've gotten so many new supers over the years that I'm not even sure who the super is now. Their rent hikes are outrageous and common areas are not kept clean. Stairways smell of urine. Garbage area is full of rats. Advice to landlord: Be more responsive to your tenants - pick up the phone once in a while. Better pest management.”

“Pros: Walkable nabe and convenient to trains. Nice size apts and sweet super Cons: Lack of attention to details. See a cockroach ever few days. Offers biweekly extermination, but not reliable or convenient. Advice to landlord: Pay attention to the details. Give access to the roof, respond to calls, and offer other ways to pay rent”
