Raining in my bedroom
Pros
Laundry in unit, secure front entry, great bathroom
Cons
Terrible water leaks from ceiling that were never resolved, access door to roof came off hinges, radiators spraying water/steam, landlords take a long time to respond to issues, located quite far from any grocery store
Advice to the owners
Roof needs to be redone, ceilings and wiring in 3rd floor checked for mold/water damage
Overpriced Unit and Shit Management
Pros
Located in a neighborhood a bit distanced from the highly gentrified part of bushwick. Close proximity to the L, grocery stores, gym.
Cons
Pile up of issues that often made living here inconvenient. - Roach/Bedbug issue that drove a roommate out unexpectedly. - Package theft that amounted to over $3000 in losses, including a MacBook. - Noise exposure (street side), often times from loud shitty music played at odd hours / nights (eg Tue 4am) or from the Superintendent and his fellow drunks outside the building. - Untreated mice problem for over 4 months. Had to store all of our food in plastic bins and documented/caught 5 mice. Mgmt didn’t care to bring someone out to look for the source. - Handful of instances of electricity outages. - Apt door lock malfunctioning, was locked out one night prior to a job interview. - Building door lock malfunctioning and left untreated for months, contributing to more package theft. - Inequitable rental rates. I was charged a significantly higher rate ($3000/$2700) years than most other tenants ($2400) - Extended my lease pre pandemic, when asked to negotiate rent given many other units were being charged less and i had lost my job due to COVID, I was ignored. - I was given an extension at a lower rate than the offer was rescinded so they could try to find someone to pay a higher rate (good luck with that)
