492 Lefferts Ave
Pros
Nice neighborhood, near the park, balcony, central heat/AC (not all units), package & mail delivery are relatively secure, in-building laundry (3 W&D), soundproof walls— never hear the neighbors unless in the hallway. Rent stabilized!
Cons
Can’t open our dishwasher because of it’s proximity to our oven— there isn’t enough clearance with the over handle, so that’s annoying. Serious mouse issue in the building but exterminator is on call. Pretty responsive maintenance team, but not always the most competent. Common areas (rooftop, lounges, gym, laundry) are trashed and never maintained. Be aware that it’s a religious neighborhood and the local groceries & other stores nearby are closed Friday/Saturday, so you’ll have to adjust your schedule accordingly if that’s not already a part of your routine. Gym is tiny, damp & overcrowded with machines
Advice to the owners
Better, functional planning of layout. Maintain common areas!!!!
