Tired old building in need of new elevator
Pros
Amazing location Friendly neighbors
Cons
Banged up building Elevator constantly breaks down Landlord does the bare minimum because many units are rent controlled
Be aware Brusco - West Side Management
Pros
Location Neighbors 69th Street
Cons
Brusco - West Side Management are terrible landlords. This has been reiterated many times elsewhere; the company has many buildings on the UWS and you’d think “how bad could it be” and still rent from them - but it’s bad and you’ll be having a lot of problems with them. 106 W 69th: they put in the bare minimum effort to keep the building habitable. - heat broken in the winter - there is a phone company relay station in the courtyard with extremely loud HVAC system - elevator broken constantly - common areas run down - Brusco will not fix it if anything is broken - check the 311 complaint website for a list of issues in the building
Advice to the owners
Do not rent with Brusco/ West Side Management
