Bad Management, leaks
Pros
Price, location, size of rooms.
Cons
Pests, water leaks, no heat, package theft, loud neighbors, one guy whose mom lived in the building would yell homophobic slurs and spit in the lobby .
Advice to the owners
Fix underlying issues instead of just papering them over.
Proceed with caution
Pros
Big apartments, great sunlight, rent stabilized, updated kitchen, great area. I always say I wish I could take my apartment, add a laundromat/ washing machine and put it in a different building for it to be perfect
Cons
Building is not kept clean like literally disgusting. Elevators keep breaking down. I’ve been stuck at least 3 times which is scary. Packages gets stolen from outsiders. Key fob is always broken so anyone can come in. Blasts heat during the winter two times a day which is too hot but then cold the rest of the day. Randomly no hot water without notice
Advice to the owners
The building needs to be power cleaned, especially the stairs and elevators ! New elevators should be installed instead of the old ones we have. The building is big enough for a package room and someone to manage it, even if it’s a small window of time during the day, or a package room that needs a key to get in. Change the front door so it stops breaking and packages can stop getting stolen!
