Clean, well lit pre-war building close to everything
Pros
Building is kept clean, trash is a set of covered bins outside, super is pretty responsive and helpful. Good natural light and a big tree outside. Our unit has w/d.
Cons
It can be loud from traffic on Bedford. Pest control seems to come on a regular basis, though we have had minimal issues in 2 yrs.
They left a hole in the ceiling for 6 months
Pros
From the outside, the apartment seemed really great. The kitchen seemed a little small but both me and my roommate had accepted that. There was a washer dryer in-unit that and the apartment was within our budget so it seemed like heaven.
Cons
Everything else was a disaster. They are some of the most unorganized people I have ever encountered. Our upstairs neighbors overfilled their bathtub and it rotted half of our ceiling, which the super was aware of, took care of in the moment with a tarp before "someone else was called in" and that tarp stayed over the hole in our ceiling for 6 months. The only reason it got fixed was because someone from NYC Public Health was called to the building (for a different reason--hint: it was a rat infestation)and was horrified to see that my roommate and I were laughing about it.
Advice to the owners
Get ready to be woken up in the middle of the night because your upstairs neighbors had the police raid their apartment at 3 am.
