I STRONGLY recommend against renting in a SIBA building. I lived in one for 3 years and anything that they could make painful they did. They raised the rent astronomical amounts, and when I wanted to move into a larger, much more expensive apartment in the same building one month before my lease was up they refused to let me out of my lease OR give me priority over someone off the street when I was willing to carry both leases for a month. Quite literally, they are the meanes, most difficult people I've encountered in the city. The apartments are nice but it is definitely not worth it. They are the worst.
