Good and bad
Pros
Quiet floor, we had good neighbors, good natural light, nice size one bedroom, decent water pressure and heat/hot water
Cons
Lack of security for mail delivery. Packages constantly going "missing". Tenants let their dogs poop in the courtyard and don't clean it up. Hard for maintenance to keep up with the garbage tenants generate and many just throw trash in the courtyard without regard for the bins at all.
Advice to the owners
More garbage and recycling bins. Tenants need a secure way to receive mail and packages. Not everyone can "make do" with a PO box or Amazon lockers. Penalize tenants for dog poop violations.
Central Harlem Charm
Pros
Centrally located in Harlem. Easy walk to A/C/B/D subway lines at 145th and 2/3 train at 135th. Grocery story less than a block away. Washer/Dryer in unit. Spacious bathroom.
Cons
Infested with mice. After a month of being there and killing about 25, we were able to find that the hole in the wall under the bathroom sink for the plumbing was where they were entering. We filled it with steel wire and blocked any future entries. Views from bedrooms are of the garbage area outside. Very noisy whenever anyone walks by outside. Lots of fights outside on the street AND in the alley way behind. Neighbors steal packages.
Advice to the owners
