Great landlord! Location can be a bit loud
Pros
Great landlords, always sweet and responsive. Located in the building so very easy to get a hold of unlike most NYC landlords. Beautiful apartments and clean cozy hallway.
Cons
7th ave can be very loud for Park Slope. Appliances are old.
Great Landlord, some bugs
Pros
The landlords for this building are incredibly personable and responsive which is rare for New York landlords. If there’s a problem they’ll answer on a Saturday night to fix it. The building is beautiful and has a ton of old charm to it. Overall it’s beautifully maintained and the landlords are also really flexible about what you need in terms of a lease or ability to pay rent.
Cons
There is a roach problem in the building. An exterminator comes once a month which keeps them out of the units, but there’s still a good amount of them in the basement. The building could use some quality of life repairs that might help make it a less welcoming environment for them to be in. The heat in the winter sometimes kicks off and the old windows let a lot of cold air in, I like the charm of the old school windows more than this bothers me but it could be an issue for some. No central air in the summer. Hallway sometimes has a funky smell in it.
Advice to the owners
If you can, renovate the basement and take more measures to prevent roaches from coming up from the sewers in there.
