Cozy & peaceful
Pros
Amazing location/pretty area, small but cozy, close to schools, Central Park & riverside park
Cons
Apartment was kind of small, no elevator
live literally anywhere else
Pros
great location, pretty decent space within units
Cons
- roach & mice infested. big roaches & german roaches! can’t leave a loaf of bread on the counter without waking up to chew holes the next morning, even after pest control came 2 times just for mice treatment. - the building might as well not be managed. the landlord will respond quickly via email, but good luck getting the super to do anything about it. we had flooding from unit above in the bathroom & the hole was never fixed - so we’re constantly cleaning up ceiling debris. - it’s pro-cigarette smoking, so if you enjoy having your neighbor’s cigarette smoke waft into your unit all throughout the winter, it’s perfect for you! - heat is left on for too long in the winter. gets really hot in the apartment - multiple occasions of stolen packages. when we complained to the super, instead of putting in a camera, they just put up a paper sign in the front door saying, “ be home when you’re expecting a package or have it delivered elsewhere.” - people will buzz your apartment all throughout the day, even if you aren’t expecting a package or visitor i was really sad to leave the neighborhood, but i couldn’t live in this apartment a day longer. it’s not worth it - that’s obvious from the amount of turnover this building experiences.
Advice to the owners
try to remember you have a building to manage & maybe you’ll have tenants stay for longer than 1-2 years. hire a super who actually does their job.
