Horrible place to live
Pros
Its semi-well located; has good access to the blue, red and yellow subway lines
Cons
Rats; dozens of them living in the basement, you will walk past dozens of them when you get back from work. Reported multiple times to the dept of health until they actually intervened the building and have eradicated them (temporarily). Cleanliness; neighbors are dirty and there is never any cleaning of common spaces, chicken bones sitting there for weeks. Sketchy neighbors; im sure someone on first floor is a drug dealer. encountered neighbours drugged out of their mind in the stair case. Have a psychic and the first apt in the first floor has been sealed by the NYPD for over a year. Safety: Front door did not work and people came in and out as they pleased; had multiple instances of random people coming in and hotboxing the building. Layout of apts: They say they are 1BR but you have no space to put anything in the "living room" its just a kitchen between your door and your small bedroom.
Advice to the owners
Get rid of rats, clean the common spaces, add a working security camera, fix the front door.
No major problems but also nothing special about it.
Pros
Outside trash chutes. Fob/phone number building access. InUnit Laundry machines allowed/provided. Sound bleed between apts not bad. Mature/older neighbors so no loud music. Some sound bleed but nothing unreasonable. Across from big plaza. Water gets hot and sometimes super hot. Super close to subways. If I liked the neighborhood then I’d consider staying.
Cons
No package storage (some theft of amazon packages). Stairs rarely cleaned,l so they’re a bit embarrassing when having company. Slow at identifying/fixing big problems (There was a repetitive water leak they couldn’t find but I could’ve found first try). Low sound proofing into hallway.
Advice to the owners
Find a place to hide packages. Clean stairs and hallways regularly.
