In general a good place
Pros
Great location, quiet, spacious place compared to other places in NY, kitchen has a lot of storage. Appliances actually work! Heater is always on in the winter. Shower has good water pressure and there’s always hot water.
Cons
Non-urgent maintenance requests take a while to get done. Apartment was filthy at move-in. Not even swept, cabinets oily and sticky, trash from previous tenant on the floor. I had to hire a cleaning crew last minute.
Advice to the owners
Clean apartments before move-in. Be more responsive to maintenance requests.
Took 3 months to get our fridge replaced. Hot water out frequently.
Pros
Location is close to shops and transit, quiet and safe neighborhood, parks nearby, responsive to emails.
Cons
Takes FOREVER to fix things - important things like hot water or a broken fridge. Some bugs (nothing crazy for the city though).
Advice to the owners
Don’t make people wait months for a new fridge or days for hot water
