Lefrak City buildings
Pros
Location, proximity to highways, major department stores and public transit
Cons
Stairwell always dirty Slow/delayed responsiveness to necessary in Apt repairs or elevators Extremely high rent for average apartments with significant bed bug, roach and mice infestation. Building management are quick to evict you while you live with roaches, bed bugs and mice. Building management does not allow you to pay out of pocket for pest control. So you’re at the mercy of the building to take care of the problem.
Advice to the owners
Fix the problems so you can justify the high rent
Shiny Rotten Apple
Pros
Convenient location to: -Nearby grocery stores, shops, mall, etc. -Public transportation in walking distance. -Schools in walking distance. -Size of apartments are decent.
Cons
I called it a Shiny Rotten Apple because they make the buildings look "new" on the outside, but the inside is old: -Roaches!!!! -Dog poop everywhere. -No access to back/basement door entrances (like in the past). -Old cracked waterlogged, peeling walls/paint. -Hard and difficult to replace OLD furniture, etc (rusted sinks, refrigerator, stoves, etc.) -When you do get something replaced, it's with something CHEAP and BAD QUALITY. -They put money in unnecessary things instead of stuff that really matters. -You have to ask a million times for a request until (if ever) they complete it. -There's more but working HARD to get out.
Advice to the owners
Do better and stop being CHEAP with materials/supplies, etc.
