former apartment tenant
Pros
large apartment, nice roof
Cons
roaches, floods, unresponsive super
Mens shelter issues otherwise great apartment!
Pros
Neighbors are great. Near so many transportation options. Shopping nearby. Parks, museums, library walking distance. Shelter guys can be very friendly, helpful, even protective of residents.Very spacious duplex apartment. Very responsive management. Near top rated public, charter & private schools & a CUNY campus. Property management promptly addresses any serious issues with the shelter.
Cons
Neighbors are transient because of the shelter. Everyone moves after a few months. The shelter guys are moved every couple of weeks so its always new guys. Soon as we get cool w some, they're gone! Some shelter guys make accessing the property difficult at times. The newest influx very loudly spends ALL DAY/NIGHT on this side of the street making sleeping, work from home & daily living difficult for street facing residents. Never was an issue in the past. Very recent issue but persistent for a couple months.
Advice to the owners
Work closer with the shelter toward prevention.
