Always know when the L has arrived
Pros
Central a/c, heat controlled by tenants, killer location, roof access
Cons
Bikes line the stairwell so it’s impossible to bring large objects upstairs. Top floor has lots of leaking issues. Super loud! There was awful construction going on for 4 years and now I’m addicted to sleeping pills cuz the noise of that plus the train announcements below are blaring.
Leaning Tower of Bushwick
Pros
Ridiculously close to the train. Always parking outside. AC/heat and water works well. Always friendly neighbors and nice back yard.
Cons
SUPER SLANTED FLOORS, at least on the 3rd floor. The building is sinking and tilted east at a solid 10° angle. Endless rats outside all the time. Half the block is non residential and permanently dirty, including a giant puddle that stays there all year long. The management company is completely non responsive unless you get someone’s phone number and call repeatedly. Truck yard next door and construction across the street means loud noise in the mornings sometimes. Also one of the buildings behind sometimes has really loud parties every once in a while.
Advice to the owners
Better maintenance and cleaning.
