Tiny kitchen for four rooms (not including basement- which was rented as a room!) and only two bathrooms. Very small living room as well.”

— 230 FRONT STREET · Manhattan“Pros: It’s cheap, and there are a lot of good restaurants nearby. Cons: I lived at this address for 5.5 years. During that time, our rent increased, but the only thing that the landlord ever did was paint the hallway and change a lightbulb in Dias hall. The floors in this building are slanted because of settling so badly that you can put a ball at one end and it will roll across. The windows leaked so much air that our heating bills (all electric) were insanely high. During Covid, we had a mouse problem and could not get anyone to return our calls or help us, so we had to hire an exterminator ourselves. They filled 40 holes! The exterminator the landlord sent did the bare minimum. The apartment looked original to 1920 not 2020. Also, the rats were coming g into our entry way.Beware of Mott & Prince Management. They are horrible. Advice to landlord: Renovate and care for your buildings. You don’t even know who lives there! It’s insane”
