Well-maintained, reasonably priced, and open about rent stabilization
Pros
Location, easy landlord to work with, very clean and well-maintained, the rental prices were not the lowest in the neighborhood but very fair and the landlord included a rent stabilization rider in the lease
Cons
No amenities in the building; the landlord does some things "old school" and can be a bit inefficient; it is a family operation and one time some tenants did receive a letter from one family member stating they hadn't paid one month rent, but the letter was incorrect and no one ever followed up
Advice to the owners
Nothing significant to say
OK, could be better
Pros
Location; proximity to Riverside Park and various grocery options
Cons
-Management doesn’t have a good system in place for providing routine exterminator service. Technicians supposed to knock on doors one Saturday a month; I think that happened once in my yrs living here. Have to email management for service, they became less responsive over time and ghosted me on a few occasions. Periodically would be evidence of roaches in hallway, and once a live one in my otherwise clean unit; need more regular extermination. -Super isn’t readily available, I believe I heard a neighbor say he lives in NJ. -Walls are thin, good luck if you share a wall with a neighbor who has a baby or a young partier moves in. -I think they lie about apartment sizes/sq footage on Streeteasy
Advice to the owners
Put a monthly exterminator sign-up sheet in the lobby and be done with it. The technicians aren’t knocking on anybody’s doors on 2nd Saturdays and it’s a hassle to always have to write to John to get them to show up
