    winner of worst apt and landlord in NY
    Former Tenant
    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 owner:
    be a better person.

    Landlord from hell
    Former Tenant
    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 owner:
    Be a landlord and do your job. Your job is more than just collecting rent. And stop harassing your tenants.
