Affordable with central air
Pros
Great location (close to L and J stops), quiet-ish street, great neighbors & surrounding businesses, central air, large rooms.
Cons
Troutman street tends to be a major trucking route for some reason, so expect loud noises outside at all hours of the work week. Some pest issues (mice and bugs) but those have all been sorted with traps & bait. Haven't had an issue in over a year. As with all newer buildings in NYC, the build quality isn't great, and despite being less than 10 years old, there are quite a few leaks in the stairwell when it rains.
105 troutman street
Pros
Only two units per floor, central air & heating, updated appliances, washer/dryer combo unit (but may be a source of mold, not sure how it is drained)
Cons
Unresponsive landlord who doesn’t wear a mask, dealt with roach & mice during my time there, suspect mold in building that is covered up with just paint
