420 East 11th
Pros
- Nice sized apartments for the area - Conveniently located in a quiet area of East Village - Accessible rooftop - Rear apartments have private balconies - Family run management - Friendly management & super(s) - Elevator in building - Apartments are made with care, not just cookie-cutter boxes with cheap walls - Basement with laundry
Cons
- Management is absolutely not afraid to raise rent, raised from $2,650 to $3,500 after one year. Now listing apartments for $4,000. Will not negotiate with tenants - Trash is rarely taken out and located in hallway - Double booked apartment when leaving (told new tenants they could move in early without telling us) - We had a rat climb up the toilet, minimal response to that happening - Tiny kitchen space (typical, but still) - Advertises 1 bedrooms as flex 2 bedrooms
