Renters beware
Pros
Great location. Decent sized apartment
Cons
Constantly had issues with heat and hot water mid winter and the management company was completely unresponsive. The super never showed up when the management company said he would. My apartment shower flooded into the apartment below, the radiators essentially became sprinklers and would leave sitting water all over the floor. I called the management company in tears multiple times throughout the 11 months I lived there and they just didn’t care at all or make any sort of good faith effort to fix things that were essential to safely live in the apartment. But they sure as hell expected their rent on time! We moved out early and forfeited our security deposit because we couldn’t stand living there anymore after coming home one day to one bedroom completely flooded. Note: I lived here 2013-2014 but the building is still owned by the same company so I am doubtful anything has changed.
Advice to the owners
Remember that the people you rent to are humans who need (and legally are entitled to) necessities like heat and hot water.
Isn’t worth the move in.. you will encounter problems
Pros
The heat works amazing in the winter for the days they have it on & the view from the back of the building is unmatched you can literally see the entire Bronx.
Cons
Building has excessive water damage, water bug/roach & rat issues, lack of proper maintenance, management isn’t easy to reach & doesn’t really work with a sense of urgency to issues within the units, rent is still expected even when repairs aren’t made. People using drugs within the buildings. No elevator.
Advice to the owners
Don’t waste your money or time please look else where, this building is really old & the tenants though are really nice do not just welcome anyone, they really don’t speak to you for the first year. They’re rude and don’t care about being proud of they’re work as long as it gets you off they’re back.
