East Village steal
Pros
Suspiciously cheap listings -- lived here for two years with no major issues and saved major money while doing so. Super accessible in EV and the super is very sweet once you get a hold of him. Nice view/light. Very much a soft spot for this apartment.
Cons
not super clean building -- even the apartment despite deep cleaning was impossible to be pristine -- old kitchen and bathroom. Had pests for a few weeks and was able to eradicate with help of management/pest control. Issues with boiler/water meant that we often had no water or no hot water with no notice for 48ish hours.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive to tenant requests
eh it’s passable
Pros
this was a great first apartment for me in lots of ways— affordable with roommates, great location, amazing neighborhood, respectful neighbors, and surprisingly quiet (my unit faced the back of building, not street)
Cons
not the greatest management, rent has gone up every year and nothing’s improved, landlord takes awhile to respond and act on problems (i.e: problems with heat, plumbing, bugs, etc.) rats by the trash and they get noisy at night 🫤
