Please Avoid This Old Building
Pros
-Proximity to transit and laundromat. -Heat in building (when it was working). -Nice and sympathetic neighbors
Cons
-Non-responsive management, but suddenly maintenance shows up without calling or scheduling. -No cleaning in public areas. -Extremely noisy outside. -Old building means old *everything* (drafty windows, walls, electric, heating)
Advice to the owners
Having a super would solve so many issues.
Great bones, little attention paid by management company
Pros
Great location, whole building gets great light. Several corner units are sunsoaked and lovely.
Cons
Interior hallways are neglected and there's no super whatsoever. Management is in Bay Ridge and could care less about the building. When something breaks it's usually an uphill battle. Hot water intermittently off at least once a month, some heating issues in the winter. Apartments have intercoms but no buzz for entry and no ability for package delivery. Any arrivals at the front door require tenant to walk down 3-4 flights of stairs to receive. Stairs are in bad shape and may pose accessibility issues. There's a few gigantic 5g array on the roof with warning signs about dangerous proximity, more than of which is directly above bedrooms/kitchens on the top floor.
Advice to the owners
Get a super, make some improvements,
