neglected rent-stabilized building
Pros
location; quiet; chill neighbors (though no cohesive neighbor community to address concerns, complaints)
Cons
no live-in super; neglected common areas, wear and tear throughout building; no exterminator services; slow response time, including for time-sensitive concerns; various abandoned and unmaintained vacant units
Good Building, Loud Street
Pros
I lived here for 5 years, and had a positive experience. Clean building, good neighbors, responsive management and super.
Cons
There are roaches, like almost any large-prewar building, but so long as you sign up for the exterminator every month, you will not have an issue. Empire Blvd gets loud, but the building itself is good.
