Roaches & mice love it here
Pros
Great price & close to the train and amazing food in the area
Cons
So many roaches and mice (likely due to how poorly the trash rooms are treated), repairs are impossible, laundry room is terrible, and if you’re banking on the elevator in the building- don’t.
Not Awful but Okay
Pros
Water pressure and heat is solid in my unit Decent amount of natural light Neighbors are lovely Trash is always taken care of quickly Common areas are decently clean Location is mostly great Live in super is decently responsive but not available during business hours Noise isn’t too bad for such an old building Heating is consistent and good in my unit No bugs, exterminator regularly comes
Cons
Owner/management company is garbage and is terrible about communication Packages are constantly stolen from lobby, refusal to add cameras Typical landlord special paint jobs Trash location is down in side basement While super is fairly responsive and mostly friendly, he has zero power to quickly resolve issues and can’t fix much on his own Ceiling leaks in various parts of apts and floors about once every year A couple years ago we were without gas for months 33rd street is basically the LGA super speedway Bathrooms in need of renovations in most units
Advice to the owners
Install better security for the lobby, answer emails on time, and send out important maintenance when requested
