General Studies Lounge

 This building is leased by Columbia University Apartment Housing (UAH) from K&R Realties. There is a maintence worker who appears periodically to perform basic upkeep. He speaks fluent spanish. 

Well lit entrance way through double doors. There is no security and no super. 

At the end of the entranceway a door leads down to the trash and recycling areas. This door is often open, allowing rats into the building. 

The stairs are generally clean and well lit. 

The internal security bars many student apartments have, but not all units in this building have. 

Reasonably nice hardwood floors. 

Note the exposed brick and mixture of school and tenant supplied furniture. These windows open directly over Columbus Ave. 

Baseboard heaters. 

Renovated kitchens. I think the renovation was done within the last 12 months.

That wet paint sign apparently meant the door paint was wet, to the consternation of tenants. 

Exposed brick, university supplied furniture, and Rick-Dom. 

More exposed brick. 

These apartments blaze in the summer. Student purchased and hacked an install of an A/C unit. 

More baseboard heaters, see the last photo for the kind of power bills these can result in. 

Cheapo kitchen cabinets. 

Worn out hardwood floors. 

Bedroom is not level at all, resulting in these books to level out the bed. 

A power bill for four months.
