good for a covid price
Pros
was there aug 2020-may 2021, we had the cheapest rent ever, I liked having an elevator!
Cons
the landlord was unresponsive and would show up unannounced, there were rats everywhere outside, the street was so loud with music that often I couldn't sleep until 2am
Avoid this building
Pros
There aren’t many. The building has been owned by a succession of neglectful and/or absent landlords. The current landlord is the worst I’ve seen.
Cons
Rats infest the decrepit garbage containers in front of the building. Roaches, mice, and rat infestations are chronic inside the building. The maintenance is poor and that’s exacerbated by the fact that there is no super. Management takes months to respond to requests or doesn't respond at all. Water is either scalding hot or freezing cold. Huge theft problem with packages constantly being stolen. Many of the units are illegal SROs (hint: if you have more than two roommates you are unrelated to, you are living in an illegal SRO). Finally, the wiring in this building was installed in the 1930s, it is just a matter of time before there is a fire in the building due to faulty wiring.
Advice to the owners
Sell the building to a competent owner.
