Slumlords Gentrifying Harlem
Pros
Neighborhood. Location. Neighbors.
Cons
Rats and roaches. No heat for 3 days at a time. No hot water for days. Broken front doors. Package thieves. Expensive for the Heights with no AC, or in-unit laundry. Majority of the building occupied by WHITE PEOPLE. IN HARLEM. Terrible property management (Omri I hope someone smacks some sense into you.)
Advice to the owners
Do better. Y’all are going to hell.
Great location, not great management
Pros
The neighbors in the building were great. Being right across the street from St. Nicholas Park was so nice. The apartment is well laid out and very sunny. The kitchen had been redone right before us. It is rent stabilized.
Cons
The building next to us had very loud neighbors. The management was not responsive at all. The previous super was fantastic but he quit because the management asked him to be over too many buildings and we never met the new super. He didn't respond to us, but he was probably just overworked and couldn't get to us.
Advice to the owners
Hire a second super and respond to your tenants.
