winner of worst apt and landlord in NY
Pros
cool neighborhood - apt is good size
Cons
Everything. The landlord is unresponsive and inept. When I moved in I was told the apt had new AC and heating units. It never worked and in the heat of the summer the landlord refused to resolve the issue. The electricity would spark and go out for no reason, clearly a serious grounding issue. He threatened to blacklist me because I asked him to do his job. He wouldn’t even give me my full security deposit back because of issues that were there before I moved in. Do not rent here.
Advice to the owners
be a better person.
Landlord from hell
Pros
The space is big. Close to the J train and buses Location is great My neighbors wer great. Perhaps because we shared the same trauma of dealing with this landlord
Cons
The landlord (Tom) does not care about anything but rent. He is rude and gaslights you. His response to everything is that 'this didn't happen before". He will use intimidation tactics if you try to complain about anything that's not working in the apartment or building. The only time you will hear from him is when the rent is due, even during Covid. There is no regular cleaning of the hallways in building. Landlords response is that it's a small building so he doesn't need to hire anyone to clean it. You have to manage the garbage disposal. If not disposed properly, the garbage stays out and infront of the building until th next pickup. There is no doorbell, so package delivery is tricky. You have to basically track the delivery and wait outside so that they don't leave a pickup slip.
Advice to the owners
Be a landlord and do your job. Your job is more than just collecting rent. And stop harassing your tenants.
