Great location , low rent, but at what price
Pros
super lives in building
Cons
The floors are so old and uneven. Barely any natural light due to the apartment being a railroad style .
Advice to the owners
Upgrade apartments and have maintance check up
It Is What It Is
Pros
The high ceilings, relatively spacious living room & closet space (I assume most units are of a similar layout) were attractive in and of themselves. I might have a strong bias, as the unit was rent stabilized.
Cons
The building is under-managed & the public spaces, such as the lobby, stairway, garden/mini courtyard, etc are generally dingy and worn. There have been some updates to some areas, such as the double door, but overall the building is old and under-maintained.
Advice to the owners
Clean the stairs, courtyard, and lobby floors more often. Replace the flooring in the lobby. Re-paint the walls in the stairwell. Update the lighting fixtures.
