Avoid this building and avoid this management company
Pros
The noise was minimal most of the time because the unit faces away from the street and it’s close to a laundromat.
Cons
The apartment was dirty upon move in (roaches in cabinets, grease all over the stove and cabinets and in the sink, nasty tub, etc.) The stairwell to get to the apartment is neglected, missing paint, and just extremely dirty with dust and dead bugs. The bathtub is rough/sharp and hurts your feet, and does not drain properly. There were numerous issues with heating during the winter that were impossible to get solved because the management office is literally only open for 16 hours a week. We had major flooding in the downstairs hallway to the apartment due to a broken radiator, and the landlord, management company, building owner, and maintenance guy were impossible to reach. The flooring and paint job are horrific and lazily done throughout the whole unit. Management is rude, and the maintenance guy scolded and swore at me when I called him over to assess mold or damage from the flood mentioned above. Overall a gross place.
Advice to the owners
Take care of your property instead of just doing the bare minimum.
If I didn’t have my friend I would never
Pros
I lived there for about 4years with my friend. Had roommates come and go. The interior was somewhat new but the previous tenants trashed the apartment so not that great. It has the rooftop access from 2F.
Cons
The property management is the hardest ppl you can contact to fix stuff. Not so responsive. Fyi, they are hassidic jews and they are always off on weird days so expect for maybe like 30% return calls. The summer day the house gets super hot, and all sorta bugs crawling into the house from the kitchen window. One of the bathroom is grossly tiny. Don’t expect usps would drop the package inside the hall way, you better stay home to receive bulky ones or have small ones sent to the your work places. Packages always get stolen.
Advice to the owners
You better have a better property management they weren’t so helpful especially during snow days. They should’ve sent somebody to clean the snow on stair cases asap, instead it was us from 2nd floor went outside and shovel the snows with sweepers becuz we didnt have proper equipments. We felt the obligation to do it cuz none of other tenants from other units ever cleaned them.
