Affordable Apartment, But Falling Apart
Pros
Only 2 blocks from the 145th station for the 1 train, cute bars and restaurants nearby (highly rec the Honeywell, the Wallace, and the Chipped Cup). Rent is affordable and there is an elevator (works most of the time)
Cons
Super doesn’t really “fix” apartment issues - any leaks or water damage aren’t addressed, and the elevator tens to randomly stop working. He’s really nice overall, but doesn’t have the time/patience to respond to requests, so everything is sent through the leasing office. also the stairs are uneven at some parts, and we have had a bad string of packages being stolen.
MICE AND ROACHES HERE!!!
Pros
The unit I’m currently in is massive compared to most NYC apartments. I live in a 4 bedroom 2 bath and I like we have an electric stove.
Cons
- Roaches daily ( I kill at least 3 a day and it’s disgusting) - Had a mouse problem for months and had to take measures into our own hands - Water constantly gets turned off, sometimes without warning -The walls are so thin you can hear everyone
Advice to the owners
Exterminator needs to come at least twice a month with a building this old
