Slumlord property - stay away
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to the park. Tenants in the building are generally friendly.
Cons:
- Garbage piles up to the point of rat and pest infestation.
- upon moving in, the apartment was FILTHY, filled with prior tenants belongings, covered in dust and disgusting mysterious stains all over the place. It was downright uninhabitable and an immediate violation
- Front door has been broken for two months and landlord doesn’t fix it.
- doorbells don’t work and packages are constantly stolen if they are left outside or in the mail room (because the front door is broken)
- illegally overcharging, as this is a rent stabilized building that has not been appropriately registered.
- windows in units and stairwell are broken, with glass on the ground.
- walls are thin and you can hear everything
- platforms in the units have mold
- common areas are filthy - covered in dust, leftover food, etc. It has not been cleaned in years.
- landlord barges into my apartment without any consent, and whenever he wants.
- kitchen fixtures are cheap as all hell.
- doors do not have secure locks whatsoever.
