166 Avenue A,

Manhattan, NY 10009

- Huge living area, a lot of character
- Large windows in front of building
- Month-to-month lease with infrequent rent inflation

- Very old building with no substantial work done over the last 50 years, no standard building inspections for at least 10 years
- Landlord lives out-of-state and takes ages to address apartment issues (up to a year), expects tenants to pay out of pocket for most repairs and submit for reimbursement
- Paper thin walls, no insulation (freezing during winter and no control over heat), can hear everything upstairs/downstairs/outside
- Only 1 window able to support AC unit and it’s in the hallway
- Terrible WiFi (broadband only, because they will not rewire the building)
- Tons of holes/cracks that are impossible to fill, so a decent number of mouse visits (can also hear them in the walls)
- Drafty/broken windows that landlord will not repair
- Only two of three bedrooms have windows, and one of the two rooms has only one window that is very small and not usable as it opens into a courtyard filled with rodents
- Unmovable furniture left by landlord
- Very damaged floors with splintered wood throughout apartment
- Electric stove
- Broken buzzer

Communicate more effectively with your tenants, resolve building issues promptly, schedule inspections to ensure safety of building for your tenants, rewire building for stronger WiFi — really, just make this apartment livable.
