Cheap Rent but Developing World Conditions and Front Door that doesn't lock :/
Pros
Perfectly located and the neighborhood is amazing.
Cons
1. Trash is right next to stairwell and door never closes with many people entering through the trash door to go to their apartments. Because of this rats get into the main corridor. Literally had a baby rat blocking the exit to the main entrance because it got in through the trash door. 2. The Front Door does not lock. Just push it open- its not like Broadway is a highway for pedestrians.... Have had homeless and druggies enter the building and roam the stairs/corridors. 3. Hot water will randomly turn off some days with no notice. The notice you DO get is a piece of paper posted on the main door (that doesnt lock) with a sharpie written note... but it doesn't matter because by then you have taken a cold shower to head out... 4. Rodents are a huge problem 5. Mold and mushrooms... in the bathroom and kitchen... 6. Water damage that takes the company 1 month to fix... and you cant get a hold of anyone. Even the super will not tell you the number for his boss. Very shady. 7. Teenagers smoking weed in the corridor because they know from word of mouth that the front door does lock (clown face emoji) 8. Flies in the summer if you are on the first two floors. 9. Asking the super to do anything means waiting for them to come when they please aka 2 months later it gets done. Overall is is an apartment that had potential but the property owner doesn't care and would rather have you living in 2nd world conditions to be very candid.
Advice to the owners
Stop being a slumlord and actually replace the front door to the building. Manage the mold properly... not just having the super come over and wipe away the mold/fungi/mushrooms for them to grow back two days later.
