violent retaliation to complaints about lack of hot water
Pros
location was right next to a good park, and close to CUNY and the subway; the rent was a bit less expensive than comparable units in other buildings
Cons
regularly did not have hot water (or would take between 2-15 minutes after turning on the faucet); neighbors had heat issues that led at least one to go a whole winter without working heat; super (Eric) was incompetent and threatened violence from himself and his friends when we kept complaining about the lack of hot water; property owner supported the super after these interactions. We were ready to take them to housing court, but we decided that it wasn't worth continuing to feel unsafe, so we broke our lease and moved out. By the way, it's definitely a red flag that the owners use many business names to obscure where their money comes from, including Duna Real Estate, Orion Investments, PGLB LLC, and PGLB I LLC, even though it all seemed to tie back to Hagai Barlev, Lee Baum, and Uzy & Amit Evron
Advice to the owners
nothing for you

Pros
location, price and transportation options
Cons
rodent infested, super was okay at best, scary at worst. terrible trash management leading to rodents and bugs
