Solid Apartment, Lackluster management
Pros
Reasonably priced. Pretty quiet. Incredible location.
Cons
Biggest issue was management always cheaping out on fixes. We had a leaky roof for two years and managment's solution was to just paint over the leak which fixed it for a month until another big rainstorm caused a leak again. Same thing happened with some plumbing fixes
Okay building, subpar management
Pros
Location, layout, and monthly rent was low (5 years ago).
Cons
Building management was responsive but often neglectful. Working with the Super and the management agency often resulted in the gaslighting me about the issues. There repair personal are often drunk and do a poor job and do not resolve issues, only put a bandaid. There was a hole in the roof I could never get them to repair and it wasn’t even big. The neighborhood also took a dive during the pandemic and many neighborhood staples were lost. The city also destroyed the only recreational park for 10 years on the Eastern side of Manhattan.
