“Unit 2R Pros: Nice neighbors, nice location, issues were fixed quickly with super coming same or next day. Cons: The building is definitely showing its age and not just from the fact that it's a prewar but also from the shoddy renovations and repair jobs done throughout the years, does not reflect the price you are paying for a unit. Hallway always smells, especially during the summer Needs better garbage management, none of the bins are properly labeled, no compost bin. All outlets are only on one side of the unit Fusebox only in basement”

Sooooooooo many rats around the building. Really terrible smell on the first floor of the building and outside building. Vestibule door is not super secure and few times people would creep in and sleep/pee in vestibule. That all being said, we lived on the third floor so I felt pretty removed from these issues most of them time, and my room was a great size. Advice to landlord: care more?”

Advice to landlord: I don’t think they need my advice. I think they just need to maintain the building and respond properly when their tenants have issues.”
