Affordable and clean but outdated
Pros
Clean building, no issues with mice of cockroaches, relatively quiet, relatively cheap for the location, very spacious for NYC, laundry and elevator in the building
Cons
Poor management response to basic requests, poor response from the super who is always absent, poor windows, not renovated for a long time, high rent increases YoY
Landlords churn tenants
Pros
Close to Trader Joe’s.
Cons
The management is more concerned with maximizing rents and churn tenants. Trust that they will increase the rent the maximum amount every year. It’s a good place if you plan to only stay one year. You will see new neighbors on a regular which doesn’t make you feel safe since you see new faces all the time. The landlords don’t care for or want long term tenants outside of those in rent stabilized units, since they have no choice. Also, fix the infestation. Constantly struggled with roaches and I heard other neighbors complain about mice.
Advice to the owners
Fix the pest infestation and keep loyal tenants that pay on time and avoid maximizing rent increases to levels higher than they were pre-pandemic
