Great Management/location, OK building
Pros
VERY responsive property manager, always fixed things right away. He was also very reasonable and nice, not evil like some. The building cleaning/pest control was also very regular and could be requested for additional service at any time. The window views were wonderful (front apartment) as well, best part was looking out and seeing all the trees.
Cons
A few weird things due to the building being old. I.e. mosquitos inside constantly during the summer - they came from the drain!!! So weird and unavoidable no matter what we did. Even pest control couldn't get rid of them... Can't really think of any other cons, maybe the apartment layout but that's nyc apartments for you.
Advice to the owners
None really. Alan Tam (and Bella) are great and very reasonable and responsive. The only cons are kind of out of their control.
Worth it for location only
Pros
Great location, large bedrooms for smaller apartments
Cons
Poor and unresponsive management, owner lives in another country, maintenance requests are very slow and require a lot of follow up- things will stay broken for way too long, floors and walls are very thin. They only care about the rent check.
Advice to the owners
Get better management
