Severe roach infestation!
Pros
Neighbors are friendly enough
Cons
Severe German roach infestation throughout the entire building that management refuses to do anything about. I'm seeing upwards of 20 roaches a day, both in my apartment and in common spaces, despite keeping clean and putting out traps. I have developed severe stress and PTSD from living in such a filthy building. Also they lied to the city saying they fixed the problem when they actually did nothing, a later HPD inspection confirmed that to be the case. This landlord is dishonest and predatory, stay away!
Advice to the owners
Hire a licensed exterminator to fumigate the entire building.
overcharge on rent according to rent history; allows smoking in public space
Pros
PROS very clean.
Cons
The owner of the building refuses to do anything about homeless men wondering around in the building. many people who live here have lived here for many, many years and pay low rents (under 1K/mo). the owners of the buildings really WANT those people to move out so they can charge current rates for the rentals. It is illegal to smoke in public spaces in residential buildings in new york. however, the owners of building allows smoking of whatever the non-tenant is smoking in the halls. this is dangerous because the person can start a fire and burn down the building; because second-hand smoke is a hazard to everyone's health; because the second-hand smoke enters individual apartments and causes health issues; because someone has an oxygen take on the first floor and open flames present a greater danger! police say it is the owner's problem. The owners and managers do nothing. or, at least, this has been going on (and more) since SEPT2021. The heat is so high in the winter, it is hard to breathe. the door on this apartment doesn't fit so the smoke fills the apartment BUT also, dust from outside and whatever else! it's like being in a restaurant kitchen sometimes!
Advice to the owners
my advice is follow new york laws!
