An Okay First Apartment
Pros
Onsite maintenance and security folks, gas appliances, laundry room (down the block, not in the building), close to Ditmars Blvd restaurants, shops, and subway
Cons
Terrible pest problem: multiple sightings of rodents and cockroaches, non-responsive landlord (never met him/her/them), occasional domestic disturbances throughout the night, small bedrooms/closets, building-controlled heating was on at odd times throughout the year, water pressure was non-existent
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive to your tenants, clean up the units before re-leasing them, get a better handle on the pest problems, and re-think rent pricing.
