Avoid like the plague. Pests, mice, and no heat!
Pros
Building was rent stabilized and affordable for the area. Bedrooms were large with good lighting.
Cons
Slumlords run the building. Before I left, there was a six month span where we did not have hot water for nearly 30 days (with 8 consecutive days without heat). During the summer the pests and bugs were out of control. I one caught 8 mice in a three month span. As you can probably guess, management responded poorly in all of these preventable situations. When we withheld rent due to a breach in the ‘warrant of habitability’ our landlord increased our rent for a brief period of time rather then offer concessions. To get the landlord to do anything was pulling teeth, as a result the building was filthy throughout the year. The cherry on top was during the first weeks of the pandemic they threatened to illegally charge us astronomical late fees (which was illegal prior to COVID). Avoid this building like the plague.
Advice to the owners
You guys are slumlords, but you already knew that.
Not for the weak
Pros
Big park near by a few super markets
Cons
I moved out years ago due to a mold issue in my apt They hire random people off the street to clean the hallways and non of them seem to grasp the concept of what clean is, the people on the building don't have the the mental strength to tie a trash bag closed. They leave it outside of the trash disposal area The super always lies about things that don't matter The tenant in 5b will be outside infront of the door everyday standing with his shirt off naked 😳 and in everyone's business like he's the landlord
Advice to the owners
Get a new super and address the issues before the pile up your super is milking you while don't notice
