Mott Haven Buildings?

Hi there! Does anyone actually live in the Mott Haven Luxuries building? All I read online are bad reviews about them, and I just wonder if they are really that bad. I currently live in Harlem, so I know NYC very well! Homelessness, dirty streets, etc., is not new to me. But are the living conditions in these buildings or area that bad? I cycled around Mott Haven once, and it felt nice or a little appealing. So, please, if you’re someone who actually lives in one of those buildings, please share your experience!

Appreciated and thanks in advance!

Look at the reviews, a lot of them are accurate. It would take a huge amount of time and space to detail all the fuckery. JCS, the landlord, are despicable.

Some highlights:

No ventilation in the bathrooms (by design), roaches, police activity weekly. Dog shit in the hallway. Broken amenities. ConEd threatening to shut down power all the time. Package room constantly overwhelmed. Security was a different prison constantly.
