Broken old building
Pros
Relatively quiet if the apartment is facing the backyard and the next door doesn’t have a constantly-barking dog.
Cons
This 1920s bldg has bad maintenance – the garbage area is often overloaded, the backyard is swiped twice a year, so things are scattered, and they don’t care. Often packages are stolen. A tenant started a petition about the security issue. The management won’t respond to some issues. As a result, many tenants left.
Advice to the owners
Start fixing broken bldg, clean the garbage area and the backyard more often, and communicate with tenants – do all these basic things would improve it.
Don’t Be Fooled By The Large Units
Pros
The unit is sizeable and there’s a dishwasher.
Cons
The super is a nightmare to deal with, rude and makes you wait forever for everything. There’s constant package theft and occasionally homeless people sleeping in the vestibule. There is a woman who lives in the building next door with a disabled son, who she parks behind this building during the day and just lets him scream uncontrollably.
