A mess of a living situation thats almost darling with a ton of work
Pros
-bright and cheery— giant windows -seriously, great natural lighting -big bedroom (weird shape tho so can’t fit a queen) -true 1BR -exposed brick -LOVE the street it’s on. Feels safe at night with the nightlife, yet quiet. -finally almost mouse-proof’d the apt after several years of nonstop effort with no help from management or super. -management says no dogs but many units seem to have them & nobody seems to care
Cons
-management beyond unresponsive about issues -whole building has mouse and roach infestation, has for YEARS. Prepare to do battle á la Nutcracker to fortress yourself against mice -had a stove with a low key gas leak 3 years. It was the first thing I fought to replace. Super gaslit me about the gas leak (the irony!) . After con-Ed threatened to force-evacuate all tenants they finally replaced it. Just learned this was supposed to be addressed before I even moved in because a lower floor unit caught on fire from it or something shortly before I moved in. -when things go wrong and need repair (mice falling from ceiling, water falling from ceiling, packages getting stolen, no lock on door or smoke detector upon move in, no fridge for at least a month…) there is absolutely no rush to fix it. -packages get stolen left and right. -homeless wander into the building semi regularly, camp outside your door, and have tried to enter your apartment. -locks on front doors regularly rigged to stay unlocked -roof beyond busted and they won’t fix -some units occupied by families that fight loudly all the way down the halls
Advice to the owners
Fix your mouse and roach infestation ASAP. Get a real exterminator, nobody signs up for the one you have because they’re zero help, give you one sticky trap and say good luck. We need HOLES FILLED. Structural issues repaired. If you did every unit once we’d be set. The fact this hasn’t been addressed properly for HOW long is appalling…
MICE RUN AWAY!
Pros
Get to be in East village
Cons
HUGE HUGE mice issue for the entire building. Can cover up every hole and a mice would still appear.
