Forest Hills dream
Pros
The building is a 5 minute walk to 71st train station, quiet neighbors.
Cons
Apartment is very old
Building super sucks
Pros
The apartment was spacious and reasonably priced.
Cons
This was a few years ago, 2019, but the super was awful. Upon moving in, I found a place in the basement where everyone puts out recycling. When I left collapsed boxes there, he told me to move them but refused to tell me to where! He just repeated “not here.” I had to deal with him when the roaches from my upstairs neighbor creeped in. I had to deal with him when the dishwasher stopped working for several months. I had to deal with him when that same upstairs neighbor had a leak that damaged our bathroom. He didn’t cause these issues but always worked to make them more unpleasant. Finally, when we were moving out, he was still barking orders at us until the moment we drove away. He is literally the worst.
