Management is mediocre, neighbors are solid.
Pros
Welcoming neighbors and community!
Cons
Staircases and hallways are not respected as communal areas when it comes to cleanliness. While the super works to keep these areas clean, there are a handful of tenants who do not care to pick up their own trash whenever they're hanging out in common areas. Pest management for mice is poor on management's behalf. We had a mice infestation for 8+ months before management decided to pay for an exterminator to come in and do a thorough job. You'll have to keep pressing management to get things done. They own a slew of properties so, honestly, they just don't care.
Advice to the owners
Respect your tenants! We pay good money to live in these spaces.
Central Harlem Charm
Pros
Centrally located in Harlem. Easy walk to A/C/B/D subway lines at 145th and 2/3 train at 135th. Grocery story less than a block away. Washer/Dryer in unit. Spacious bathroom.
Cons
Infested with mice. After a month of being there and killing about 25, we were able to find that the hole in the wall under the bathroom sink for the plumbing was where they were entering. We filled it with steel wire and blocked any future entries. Views from bedrooms are of the garbage area outside. Very noisy whenever anyone walks by outside. Lots of fights outside on the street AND in the alley way behind. Neighbors steal packages.
