Affordable building
Pros
Rent stabilized apartments, with low key but pretty efficient management.
Cons
No laundry in building. Communication with the management could be better as they don't always respond to claims or questions unless it is an urgent matter.
Advice to the owners
Having laundry in house would be very appealing for tenants. Management responsiveness to calls or questions from tenants should improve too.
Tenants blast music non-stop
Pros
Nice neighborhood and close to great subways.
Cons
Multiple maintenance issues have not been addressed for over a year- leaks, plumbing issues, etc. We literally have laundry detergent bubbling up into our kitchen sink on a constant basis (and the building has no laundry facilities). This is actually a double building (466 and 470 are owned by the same company). And the tenants in 470 blast music non-stop, often until 4 am, which echoes in the space between the buildings and makes life awful for anyone who has a window onto that space. It’s truly like living next to a dance club. Good luck trying to relax. Calls to landlord do nothing.
Advice to the owners
Pay more attention to what life is like for all tenants. Allowing one apartment to blast music and throw parties makes life miserable for everyone else.
