Hallways smell like weed
Pros
-good location -friendly tenants
Cons
-hallways smells strongly of weed. Smell seeps into apartment -packages get stolen from mail area.
Optimal location, affordable price, and friendly neighbors!
Pros
The apartment building is very clean; staff clean the hallways and common spaces at least twice a day. I haven't had any issues with bugs or rodents, which is a huge plus in NYC. The building is also within a ten-minute walk to the C, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains, and the commute to central Manhattan is only about thirty minutes. You don't have to travel far though as there are plenty of restaurants, stores, and bars nearby.
Cons
The mail room is chaotic. All packages go to a small, closet-like room, which the entire building has to share. The room is often occupied and messy, and packages can easily get lost or stolen.
Advice to the owners
Consider using an Amazon pick up location.
