Terrible building to live in
Pros
Located next to an elementary school so the park with trees is a nice view from the windows.
Cons
Consistent heat/AC issues, huge Mice problem, building leaks consistently in the hallways and within the units. Roof has leaking problems that they have been trying to repair for months and the issues persist. Exposed brick is not taken care of so it crumbs everywhere.
Nice but suspicious
Pros
Great amenities in a gentrification building in bedstuy. Decent appliances, clean rooftop, easy living with elevator and garbage pickup. Everything is electric and modernized. Huge windows are great. Close to trains. Allows pets and have not had to make a noise complaint about any of them. Area is quiet usually minus the muffled train sounds.
Cons
Elevator screeches out of nowhere and takes a few days to fix. No bug screens on windows or balcony doors. Prone to flies coming into the apartment from holes in walls connected to water/heat. Packages have been stolen before. Gym is available but not great and has no ventilation. Laundry in building can get pretty dirty and sometimes has bug infestations. Grocery stores kind of suck around the area. Landlord was pretty cruel when they increased the rent a ton.
Advice to the owners
Don't be such a jerk about rent increases just because you got rid of rent stability. Normal people don't suddenly make 20% more income every year just because you want 20% more lining in your wallet.
