Frozen pipes and no hot water, worst management experience
Pros
Clean shared areas and quiet neighbors in a good location.
Cons
Horrible response to emergent and ongoing issues. We had frozen pipes for 5 months in one of our bathrooms and intermittent hot water for 1 year. Cockroaches in the dishwasher and mice. Lots of new furnishings so the individual apartments look nice but the building is horribly maintained. We also had the bathroom above us flood into a bedroom and it causes damage from dirty water.
Advice to the owners
Learn how to insulate a pipe if you’re going to add new units or bathrooms.
Charming but needs updates
Pros
Beautiful pre war apartments and original details Friendly neighbors aside from one that lives pretty dirty They vacuum the hallway carpets every week Great location near central park
Cons
Rent increased an insane amount for an old walk-up apartment with no laundry in the building or an updated kitchen, although we had been living there for 3 years
Advice to the owners
Respect tenants that have been there awhile and have kept the apartment in good shape
