Risky tenants aren’t worth it
Pros
For a first apartment this place is ok, there’s a dishwasher and microwave included which is nice. Most of the neighbors are friendly with each other, and the evenings past 8pm are fairly quiet.
Cons
Risking your safety isn’t worth it especially if you’re living alone. There’s a violent tenant (who is sometimes armed) that can randomly terrorize the lobby past midnight resulting in some tenants having self-imposed curfews for the sake of avoiding being assaulted by this person. So far nothing has been done about him despite multiple calls to the police.
Advice to the owners
Evict this violent tenant before he actually assaults someone.
Perpetual cockroach problem, constant night noise, and shady management
Pros
Relatively cheap rent.
Cons
They send in an exterminator every month who dabs little pieces of poison in a few places, this does nothing for the roaches. There's constant night noise, especially in the summer that often goes on until 3am. Finally, LAP Partners, the building management illegally withheld my security deposit, citing a variety of reasons (several fictitious, none valid) well after 14 day period mandated by New York City law.
Advice to the owners
Take an ethics course and hire some good lawyers, because the NY AG isn't messing around anymore.
