Short time living experience
Pros
The location of this building is great, as it is only a 5-minute walk to the Macy Avenue station (serving both Line M and J) and is located in a safe area. Downtown Williamsburg is also just a 10-minute walk away.
Cons
The garbage operation in the center of the building can be noisy early in the morning and cockroaches have been reported. Additionally, while the central heating is usually warm, it may not be sufficient in some rooms during the night.
Advice to the owners
More frequent pest control and better central heating in some rooms are needed.
Don’t expect much… front door has been busted for months.
Pros
Location is good.
Cons
Nobody bothered to smooth out the caulk in the bathroom, so there are beads and huge gaps that foster black mold. Door buzzer has been broken for months, maybe over a year. Landlord wants to demand higher rent now while rent stabilization has been removed, yet won’t even fix the building.
Advice to the owners
Fix the door buzzer so we don’t have to run up and down for deliveries and guests!
