it got better
Pros
interior is painted, cameras are installed, exterior door lock changed.
Cons
can and should be more clean. example: if maintenance is to be once in two weeks, it is getting skipped to four or so weeks. each floor is eligible for security camera but non is installed besides tiny holes in the wall.
Advice to the owners
activate electronic rent payments. inconvenience in sending or physically dropping off check payment.
No frill but generally great
Pros
Great location not far from a lot of great places. With new L train on avenue A, Train is much closer/accessible. High ceilings and great location. The east river park is close by too which is nice for walking/bike riding.
Cons
When I was there in Oct 2022 the windows were very old and broken and there would be little to no insulation during the winter months so it would get very cold. Also there was an awning in front of the apartment where birds stay and shit in front of the front door and so it would normally be covered in bird poop a lot of the time.
Advice to the owners
Get rid of the awning in front of the building and fix the windows in the apartments so that there is insulation.
