Winters are rough
Pros
Small building, can identify neighbors. Although throwing trash in an alleyway OUTSIDE is a hassle, I’ve never encountered rodents.
Cons
The building owner doesn’t allow the super to control the heat. Be prepared for bare minimum temps in the freezing cold. The super doesn’t know how to fix common issues, doesn’t follow up frequently and uses his KIDS to do his work.
Advice to the owners
Pay for better help and stop skimping on the heat.
HPD is to blame
Pros
The building has an elevator.
Cons
Prior to move in the Landlord increased the low income affordable rent from $1063 to $1165 stating construction cost however nothing was done. Heat issues, ceilings caving in plumbing issues, lazy supers, walls falling stoves not working the cheapest floor titles, roaches, mice, strangers walking around, no laundromat in the basement, dirty elevator, no installation in the walls, tenants are freezing cold, spit on the walls, incorrect statements, the management company calls you and says pay your rent. The fire department comes here a lot because of the elevator.
Advice to the owners
Lemor Realty owns the building Metropolitan Property Manages the building. Sell the building to a management company that will do right by the tenants. HPD should shut the building down.
