Rent Controlled but not Ideal
Pros
Rent Controlled Near public transportation Relatively quiet
Cons
Heat doesn’t work. Laundry room is dirty and machines don’t work. Although there is a monthly visit by exterminator, there is definitely a roach and rodent issue. Parking can be difficult to find. The garage beneath the building os extremely expensive. About $275 monthly
Advice to the owners
Please fix the laundry room and radiator issue. Increase the cleanliness of the building.
Well maintained pre-war building
Pros
This building is in mostly very good conditioned and is well maintained. The super is responsive 9-5 (he’s told me that he can’t work outside of those hours due to the management company’s insurance). People are pretty polite and friendly, not high turnover of residents. It’s rent stabilized.
Cons
The front door isn’t secure, it has a sensor that unlocks the door whenever someone inside is standing within a few feet of it. It’s also often broken. Packages are delivered right by the front door and sometimes have gone missing (idk if it was a postal service issue or if they were stolen).
Advice to the owners
The original front door was more secure, the new one is much worse and less safe
