Great first NYC apartment
Pros
Package room, very close to delis, coffee shops, good restaurants and take-out spots, roof access (sort of), and about a 5 min. walk to four different trains.
Cons
Smaller bedroom didn't have a window and I didn't know at the time it should've been marketed as a 2 bedroom FLEX. Very narrow stairwells made it hard to move in and out. Back units are not street-facing and so are very dark. Hot water in the shower runs out after 15 minutes so only 1 person can shower in the span of ~1 hour.
Advice to the owners
Be more engaging, present, and friendly with your tenants.
get what you get
Pros
we had stable rent for 3 years neighbors can be friendly and helpful
Cons
-constantly had water shut off without warning for a whole day -Management loved to ignore me and pretend i wasnt on the lease and only email & correspond with my roommate -Also gave off-putting rude responses to regular requests for maintenance like saying “hey the hot waters gone?” & getting back “stop emailing us we know already” like ok i didnt??
