Unkept building, unresponsive management
Pros
Good access to prospect park, subways, and Franklin Ave/PLG restaurant and bar offerings.
Cons
Roach infested unit (probably 75+ roaches over 6 months), rat infested courtyard (where you take garbage), unannounced water shutoffs (at least 6 -7 times in a year), completely unresponsive management. Super means well but is overextended, thus inconsistent (if any) follow-through on repairs/requests.
Nice people, horrible building
Pros
- The people are nice, tight community and they care about each other
Cons
- Horrible management, completely unresponsive and lies to their elderly tenants about things like raising the rent - Filled with every pest you can imagine (roaches, bedbugs, rats, spiders, ROACHES, centipedes). I woke up with a centipede crawling on my neck once - Elderly neighbor had her ceiling cave in and was being harassed by someone in the building, management refused to help - Frequent lack of heat/hot water - Elevators always broken, people frequently got trapped, may as well have been a walkup - Stairwells unclean and unsafe (one had blood on the doors, usually urine in the landings) - Front door usually unlocked/broken
Advice to the owners
Start caring about the people who live in your building and supporting your super.
