terrible landlord! look up his legal history before you move in
Pros
nice sized kitchen for a studio; high ceilings and good windows
Cons
front door lock of the building broke and owner took no responsibility to repair. i had hundreds of dollars worth of packages stolen over several months and his response was to blame de blasio for crime (eric adams was already mayor by then). he eventually had the super tape a sign to the front door warning tenants to not buzz in strangers... never mind that strangers could just shove the door open and steal your mail. also they changed the locks a day before our official move-out date and let the new tenant move in early. we had mostly moved out but still had things there that they shoved into a closet. almost killed my plant.
Advice to the owners
fix the front door lock
So far so good
Pros
Everything is in good shape for an older building. Kitchen has been updated and cabinets are good quality. Bathroom is older but fine and functional. I’m on the top floor but don’t hear my neighbors or street at all. Management company has been responsive requests. Super is great.
Cons
On the top floor and the water pressure sucks and it’s hard to control the temp.
