Terrible building to live in
Pros
Located next to an elementary school so the park with trees is a nice view from the windows.
Cons
Consistent heat/AC issues, huge Mice problem, building leaks consistently in the hallways and within the units. Roof has leaking problems that they have been trying to repair for months and the issues persist. Exposed brick is not taken care of so it crumbs everywhere.
Building okay, but sublet nightmare
Pros
Apartment itself is fairly recently refinished, new kitchen appliances and nice bathroom
Cons
Building itself is NOT well kept. Staircase and railing is unsafe and broken in multiple places, windows along staircase do not close/open. SERIOUS problem with package theft and building security. Lobby is not cleaned very often and an exterminator is supposed to come once a month, but I have never seen them. Although a lot of the finishes and stuff were new, we had issues with things not working and management rarely responding- not sure if this was the fault of the mgmt or my sublettor. EDIT: post lease end, major issues with receiving rental deposit back from subletter & management. Deposit not returned within the 14 day period per NY law & myself and another sublettor are being forced to take legal action
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive- professionalism in tenant/financial disputes is extremely lacking.
