perfectly adequate place
Pros
Quiet, residential neighborhood. Often can get electricity and/or gas included in rent.
Cons
Building is pre-war and quite old. Layouts are not conventional and sometimes quite odd.
If you like neighbors who harass you and vermin
Pros
Apartments are really spacious
Cons
Management is corrupt and abusive. So are the owners. Some of the people that live here are certified psychotic and allowed to get away with literal murder because of rent control. They let one girl shoot up in empty apartments and run a prostitution ring from her apartment bc she paid her rent on time. That was fun. If you need to question their morals- google the owners… Stahl and Hirschfeld, the partners who tried to kill each other via hitman. I thought things would be different since that was decades ago. Boy was I wrong.
Advice to the owners
Stop taking bribes. Stop allowing neighbors to harass tenants using racial slurs and violence. Stop hiding behind your army of lawyers. The buildings you manage and own are architectural gems and they and the people in them deserve better
