Responsive Building Landlord
Pros
The management team of the building is very responsive to issues in the building.
Cons
The feeling of living in a dorm room with the noise levels of the neighbors.
Honestly not a bad deal for the area
Pros
-Recently renovated rooms -Relatively chill landlord as far as they go -Close to subway, parks, grocery stores, buses, restaurants and the like -Lots of natural light -Diverse occupants; longtime Harlem residents and newcomers alike -Working elevator, if a bit slow -Attitude of landlord seems positive with improvement in mind; whether that is at the expense of current residents is yet to be seen
Cons
-Package area can be a bit messy and is unguarded -Small roaches -Buzz in system a bit tricky to use -On the main drag, so there is a lot of noise at times -Not the prettiest street, though this is an issue with the city. Lots of garbage and rats on the side street, and litter on the main street.
Advice to the owners
Increase the frequency of pest control to bimonthly in the summers, add a security camera or other deterrent to package area until approval for Amazon locker
