All 10 tenant reviews.

“Pros: Super is responsive Cons: MANY ROACHES. the pest control sprayer does not help this, building does not care. They are everywhere. Building doesn't turn on heat untll late winter after MANY requests to. Restaurant employees constantly loitering in the "lobby" and constant delivery for them (area is full of vegetables and smelly things nonstop) Hallways smell disgusting constantly bc of trash from two restaurants below. You open your window and the smell of the restaurant below will cause your fresh air to be onion smelling. this apartment is truly a nightmare, unhygenic and you may go crazy living there. Please just do yourself a favor and don't. Advice to landlord: GET RID OF THE ROACHES! ITS A HELATH HAZARD”

“Unit No Pros: Location location location Cons: Very old and no central ac or heat. Some apartments cannot even support an air conditioner. Way to much restaurant stuff in foyer. Electric system is very very old. Advice to landlord: Upgrade electric and keep foyer clear if any restaurant stuff!”

“Pros: Location is amazing and convenient Cons: The apartments are all chopped up and not true two bedrooms. Roach infestation in the building is a major problem that isn’t fixed and they also barely turn heat on in winter. Plus my hot water has been a problem every winter - either won’t run or goes out mid shower.”

“Pros: Love the area, love the neighbors, loved my home after putting a TON of work into fixing it up while living there. Cons: Honestly the building management was insanely unresponsive. First moved in and the radiator exploded, then I had a mice infestation it took them 2 MONTHS to fully assess after threatening to withhold rent. Then I've had a steady flow of roaches for the remaining 3 years. It's part of living in the city to an extent, but this building is just not great. Whenever something has needed repairs in-unit OR in-building oveer the years, they have always chosen a cheaper & worse option to replace it. Once they tried replacing my bedroom ceiling fan with a bathroom vanity light. Great location, you get what you pay for, but beware! Advice to landlord: Better door lock so packages don't get stolen, please invest in pest control”

“Pros: location good lighting in bedrooms Cons: cockroaches everywhere — no response from super or landlord packages stolen or broken into”

“Pros: -Fast hot water and good water pressure. -Online rent payment and maintenance requests. -A nice view of an open street, no facing a wall or another unit 10' away. -Units are given a fresh coat of paint before new tenant move-in. -Free gas and water. Cons: -Roaches: Persistent roach problem throughout the building. They send an exterminator around every month but it doesn't seem to be enough. Some units are built with absolutely no closets. -Leaks: There seems to be a very high number of leaks in this building - I've had my ceiling spring a leak 2x in less than 2 years. Overall it feels like the place is just patched up until the next problem hits. -Heat: Floor radiators aren't very warm and the window insulation is terrible. You'll have to plastic insulate your windows if you want to survive - and even then you'll need a space heater. -Steep rent increases. They get all they can. **They require a guarantor no matter what your income! Advice to landlord: Genuine investments are needed to make these units worth the rent charged. -Plumbing -Bug bomb this place or something. -Window insulation -We really need a video intercom system. Packages get stolen.”

“Pros: every room is street facing, high ceilings Cons: bugs everywhere, super is often unreachable, no overhead lighting in bedroom, layout is strange and the flex walls are subpar, no peep holes, front door is often broken. overall, no longer worth the price”

“Unit 1A Pros: Location, Friendly Neighbors overall, Spacious Apartment, Hardwood Floors, Newly Painted, Fairly priced when I began renting, no longer is. Cons: Roaches are hard to get rid of and not taken seriously by management. Expected to clean roach infestation upon arrival. Overall has become manageable but not ideal. Apartments are renting for $1000 more than when I moved in less than a year ago. Advice to landlord: Care about roaches and make decisive decisions about fixing the problem. Don't leave it to renters to solve individually, when there are roaches throughout the building.”

“Pros: Location/cheap rent/polite though unresponsive owners. Cons: Literally everything. More roaches than I have seen in my entire life combined. More Noise than you will ever hear. disrespectful NYU children tenants and Old creeper tenants. Unsafe vestibule with no buzzer. Advice to landlord: Change literally everything and stop owning properties on your way out”

“Pros: The rent was cheap Cons: The smallest apt in nyc. I could touch both walls by standing in the middle of the room and stretching my arms out. No buzzer for the front door. Some people had to share bathrooms that were in the hallway. Advice to landlord: Stop dividing up the teeny Apts to make even smaller units.”
