Expensive low-rise apartment rentals with noisy commercial neighbors
Pros
Clean Low rise construction with some nice historic details Friendly super on premises during weekdays Shared mews-style courtyard with other tenants from other buildings and commercial spaces
Cons
Loud neighbor downstairs at the coworking/event space holds noisy parties Landlord raises rent significantly, units used to be rent stabilized Noisy construction at nearby Alloy Block Nice craft beer bar downstairs closed down due to rent increase (same landlord) Messy garbage collection leads to rat infestation at shared backyard Small living spaces without sufficient closet space Loud and ineffective kitchen exhaust
Advice to the owners
Value good tenants and keep them by maintaining their rent. Don’t push them out and leave behind vacant spaces, especially along your commercial frontage, since activity at night along the street makes the neighborhood safer.
