Great old building
Pros
Well maintained, spacious, rent stabilized.
Cons
Some neighbors are a little loud depending on the floor. Also, even though maintenance tends to be on top of everything, he’s kind of slow responding to requests.
What you’d expect for the price
Pros
Large and spacious apartments with good natural light (depending on unit). Laundry in basement. Elevator. Live in super. Flexible landlords when it comes to doing DIYs, as long as you ask for permission first.
Cons
Roach problem (we had to hire our own exterminators to fix it once and for all). Things tend to break in the building, like the elevator, front door latch, and we had a major leak.
