Not good but could be worse?
Pros
Cool neighborhood, right next to the B65, a short walk from the Nostrand A/C stop, elevator building, live-in super, and mostly chill neighbors.
Cons
Old building in need of a lot of maintenance/renovations. There are roaches, mice, and the exterminator doesn’t always come on schedule. The super is nice, but clearly overworked and undervalued. The elevator was out for 3+ months for a “full modernization” just for the buttons to be the only thing that’s different lol. An apartment on the first floor was damaged last year from a fire that occurred in the middle of the night and most of the building slept through it because smoke alarms didn't go off. Thankfully nobody was hurt but it was scary to experience.
Advice to the owners
Invest in your property and the baseline well-being of your tenants.
