If Hell was a Residential Building
Pros
It’s central and accessible to the city.
Cons
Truthfully, this is the worst building I’ve ever lived in during my 10+ years in NYC, which is a shame considering I actually love my apt. A tenant moved in earlier this year, and is basically squatting in her apt and hoarding in the hallways. Property management has done absolutely nothing about it. Garbage towers the hallways, the streets immediately in front of the building look like a 3rd world country, and there is graffiti and broken glass amid the destruction that this tenant has caused. She has virtually turned her apt into a hostel for the homeless and sketchy to visit at their leisure, whom storm in and out of her apt at all hours the night. There is conflict in the early AM hours almost consistently. The cops have been called by multiple tenants and this individual has been arrested 5+ times to no avail. She continues to wreak havoc on the building and we are all forced to live in fear and squabbles as property management has no interest in rectifying the situation. I hate to pull this card but I’m forced to believe it’s because the building is primarily vacated by minorities, hence no sense of urgency.
A 50/50 experience
Pros
Roof access Passcode entrance Laundry in building
Cons
Only one dryer and washer for all the tenants Repairman takes really long to answer
Advice to the owners
Be more empathetic to your tenants. For the amount of rent paid, there should be more than one washer and one dryer.
