Beautiful but decaying.
Pros
The building is an original 1890 brownstone beauty with original hardwood floor and crown molding and high ceilings.
Cons
Landlord is a slumlord and there was never, not once, any upkeep of the building. Leaking ceiling and mold issues, ‘super’ next door treated front yard like his own dumping ground. Backyard is non-accessible which leads to overgrowth and rat and mice problems. Floors we not refinished and splintered easily.
Advice to the owners
Invest in your property. Maybe get a working buzzer and a front door that locks.
Do not live here
Pros
It’s relatively cheap.
Cons
It’s cheap because there are rats and you will see them in your home. You will also hear them in the walls, and then they will occasionally die in the walls, and you will then smell them through the walls. The walls and windows may leak and the landlords only hire people who will dodge your calls and not show up to fix anything.
Advice to the owners
Sell your property.
