3 year tenant
Pros
Building answers requests immediately to fix broken appliances, shower pressure is incredible, apartments are clean
Cons
Despite having a rent stabilized unit, the building is undergoing destabilization and therefore the 421a fees adjust the price to market value, so you are not getting a deal. Tenants only realize this 1 year after signing
Advice to the owners
Allow negotiation for rent rates
Great views but criminally small closets
Pros
The staff are incredible and the views are the best in Manhattan in my time living in the neighborhood. Studio/1bhk perfect for 1 person with rare visitors
Cons
THE 429 SURCHARGE IS INSANE! The closets are ridiculously small and some parts hard to access. If you're not a new NYC resident, it's going to be impossible to fit your stuff in here.
Advice to the owners
You have plenty of room behind hollow walls to increase storage space in the building. Alternatively, if storage options are made available like in a lot of buildings that would be great. And don't tack on surprise charges on rent. Include it in your gross.
