building management unresponsive
Pros
location near transit, cute renovated apartments
Cons
we had an ongoing issue with a leak and bathroom mold, the building would send someone to paint over the mold regularly, without addressing the underlying issue. there were rats in the walls that you could hear and they entered our apartment more than once. we had to call 311 to finally get the building to respond to concerns, building would barely meet the rights for tenants in renovated units, but would neglect rent stabilized tenants all together
Dirty building, cute small apartments
Pros
-Great location (halfway between Marcy JMZ and Bedford L) -2 blocks from Domino Park -Awesome restaurants and bars nearby -New appliances -Exposed brick -Great light
Cons
-TINY bedrooms -Had a few roaches (no infestation, but saw maybe 6 the year we rented) -Our ceiling leaked -Dirty building: stairs have chipped tile, graffiti on the walls, trash on the floor -LL forgets to pay electricity bill for building and ConEd threatens to turn off electricity (this happened more than once)
Advice to the owners
Raising rent this much should be criminal. Inflation is not 52%. I did not get a 52% raise. Why did the price of our unit go up 52%
