Love the area
Pros
Neighborhood is amazing, close to the subway
Cons
Sometimes rats in the garbage outside, older building and needs some repairs and updating
Old building, big windows, big rooms.
Pros
Rent stabilized, large windows, large bedrooms, two bathrooms, free bug spraying, reliable heat/hot water.
Cons
Old and creaky, upstairs footsteps ALWAYS audible, heat in some rooms had terrible banging noises, water would get BOILING hot and was hard to tweak. Management once tried to not offer us a renewal lease, had to inform them that is literally illegal in a rent stabilized apartment. They eventually backed down, but it was a stressful ordeal.
Advice to the owners
Get some darn insulation in the ceilings.
