You get what you pay for
Pros
Great pre-war charm, affordable, pleasant neighbors, quiet block, helpful live-in porter
Cons
Absent landlord, struggled with pest control, no upgrades ever.
Advice to the owners
Building needs more attention
Fine until it wasn’t
Pros
Nice location, beautiful fixtures, great light, if a little unkempt.
Cons
A little slow taking care of maintenance. Had some mold building up due to a leak. Building manager occasionally complained of phantom noises, which escalated to the point of harassment at the beginning of the pandemic. Was sweet and responsive otherwise.
