RUN! This is not the place for you!
Pros
Convenient to the train and a little walk to prospect park and some of the restaurants/nightlife
Cons
This a rent stabilized bldg, great right!? Not here! The bldg is old AF, the maintenance is mediocre at best. The # of violations are ridiculous, getting anything done repair wise is exhausting, the roach situation that is now at a level of infestation is cringe worthy (an exterminator 1 day a month will never remove the issue), the response time from the super is crazy (his family lives throughout the bldg and their needs come 1st) and don’t be surprised if your neighbor is obnoxiously loud at all hours of the day and night. This will be my last year in this apt because I work to hard to live in an apt that’s literally falling apart around me and don’t expect any repairs to be legit, they work to patch, not to fix and there are so many other frustrating issues that go on here. Because ultimately cash rules and they would much rather you get fed up and leave so they can gut It and charge double the rent.
Advice to the owners
We know as a properly owner that your goal is to make money! I respect that and your entrepreneurial endeavors. However, no one should ever have to repeatedly ask for basic needs in an apartment that you pay for but receive hostile responses from the management office about, a super who is too busy tending to his own family and side hustles to actually give shit and the lack of attention to detail, is next level. DO BETTER, karma is a bitch!
