Affordable But Comes With A Cost
Pros
Affordable rent prices on rent. GREAT access to the 1 Train (about a 2 min walk). Park is right across the street and a another close by (about a 5 minute walk) and A LOT of resturants close by! Most units have a washer and dryer! :) Good area if you go to Colombia
Cons
There is no maintiance done regularly (the elevator can be scary). The Fire escapes are questionable. The Landloard and Live-In Super have slow response times. They aren't really on top of pest control. Most areas in the building are poorly lit. Packages are stolen regularly (There is no mail room). The smoke detectors and sprinkler system are NOT up to date.
Advice to the owners
In order to make this unit more appealing to renters, I would say to have a reliable Pest control company that DEEP sprays regularly (Don't skimp on this!!). Have a Super that is NOT overlooking and helping with multiple buildings, have a super who's main job is JUST this complex. Be on top of emails/messages from tenants.
Roaches and Deception
Pros
Great location (right in front of the 137th street/city college stop Big rooms Updated appliances
Cons
There was an ongoing roach infestation for the first month I lived there The super is so unresponsive and im not sure what he exactly get paid to do
Advice to the owners
Hire a better super and properly vet your tenants as the previous ones were filthy
