Most Aggressive Property Management I've Ever Experienced
Pros
No mice or bugs, beautiful space, excellent location.
Cons
Management will not respond to messages. Will raise the rent aggressively every year. They weren't paying their gas bills and our heat was shut off in the dead of winter when it was 20 degrees outside. They told US to contact national grid to petition it be turned back on. When we did we were told they do not have an account set up and were not paying bills. They fixed it by getting a plumber to come in and put in a new gas line so they could turn gas on again without a meter, which I am pretty sure is illegal.
Advice to the owners
Your tenants pay high rent to live in a nice space. Communicate with them and stop doing illegal shit. You already make enough money from us. You can pay your gas bill.
The Good & The Bad of 202 S 2nd
Pros
Location is unmatched but that's only because Williamsburg recently has become a hotspot to live. Its well located between L and J/M trains. Appliances are updated in my unit, and I have laundry in-unit which is a luxury in NYC especially older buildings. The current super to this building makes up for the unhelpful management/landlord, you can tell the super cares.
Cons
There's a ton of bugs in the units and in the hallway. The trash for all the building is kept in the hallway which is so dirty and always smells. Windows don't shut all the way. Water pressure and heat barely functions. My unit did get new appliances, but the rest of the unit was not renovated. The hardwood floors are as old as the building, they are all cracked and broken to which I get splinters and holes in my socks regularly. The walls and floors are also uneven, there is a slight tilt to the unit, so overall it hasn't been well kept or cared for.
Advice to the owners
Hire people to clean the building regularly, move trash outside the hallway. Also update the units that have clearly unkept parts to the original unit like flooring/windows. Listen to your tenets when they complain about things not working and be more responsive.
