Perfect for your worst enemy
Pros
The apartment itself is cute. There’s great light if you’re on a top floor. Good location although you’ll find that to be true in other buildings around here too. Our apartment has not had pests but a lot of people have.
Cons
There are so many issues with this apartment. We have had the ceiling cave in, no running water for days, and no gas for over a month. Packages get stolen constantly. The building management does not listen, will not make concessions, won’t put in cameras, and won’t find solutions for the water or the gas. Living NY is the worst management I have ever experienced by a long shot. I would not recommend living in a building they own to anyone, which is unfortunate since they’re buying a lot of EV buildings. The stairways are fairly dirty always and the building itself is extremely old so it naturally has some grime.

Respond to your tenants so they have a livable environment
Awful Rats & Bugs
Pros
Nothing. The area outside of the building is nice.
Cons
Rats. Cockroach’s everywhere. Damaged roof where it leaks in apartment 21. Lived there for 2 years and they never fully fixed it (would just put semipermanent plaster and then it would rain and leak again) so we chose to move out due to the negligence. There also was a dangerous homeless person who used to lurk outside of the 7/11 late at night. Attacked a friend of ours once when we were coming home.
Advice to the owners
Fix the roof. Fix the rat and mouse problem. Get a pest control company to fix the infestation.
