Big space, older building
Pros
- rail road style rooming, felt large due to the separation of rooms - superintendent comes at a reasonable time when there’s an issue - quiet neighborhood
Cons
- rent increases by $400-$500 dollars - heard that there were mice issues, applied for pest control but no one followed up - packages have recently gone missing in the lobby
Advice to the owners
Follow up on tenants for the pest control, install security cameras in the front foyer to prevent theft
Good starter apartment
Pros
Location is great, right off of Amsterdam Ave and in a vibrant part of the UWS. Also, the landlord is very responsive about maintenance requests, and repairs are usually completed within a few days. The price was also reasonable for the neighborhood, given the current market.
Cons
No elevator, the stairway is kind of rundown, and the ceiling leaks in the staircase when it rains.
