Good building with flaws
Pros
Pre-war building. Good location. Good neighbors. Rent stabilized. Super on premises. Relatively spacious apartments.
Cons
Heat and Hot water on and off. Package theft. Elevator frequently out of service. Seasonal pest problems.
Advice to the owners
The elevator is a necessity for Seniors living in the building. It frequently gets stuck, despite a previous repair, which tenants are still paying for. Also, would be good to follow up on Amazon locker and Internet providers other than Spectrum.
Not the worst
Pros
The superintendent keeps the building and trash area clean. There’s an Amazon locker inside.
Cons
The property management office will lie to you about most things. Several times they have tried to get me to sign something that it’s against the NYC rent stabilization regulations, so do yourself a favor, be skeptical and verify every info/doc they give you with a lawyer or by calling the rent stabilized office. They will say their lawyer assured them the information/documents they are giving you are lawful, but I’ve caught them lying every single time. The building front door doesn’t lock properly at least half of the time. The hot water comes out yellow several times a week for the first ~ 3 minutes of running it.
