247 E52nd 3year review
Pros
Not too many apartments, landlord is responsive over text or email, rent seems decent for the price in this neighborhood
Cons
Occasional pest control issues (rare), packages occasionally stolen, only stairs
Advice to the owners
Work on pest control more
Spend your money elsewhere
Pros
- Landlord was responsive - Location was great - You have control over your own heating system - Wood floors and bathroom looked recently renovated
Cons
- Water pressure was awful and the water shuts off for a few seconds every couple of minutes. Water occasionally comes out brown. - Hallways are unkept. There was always trash and construction supplies in the hallways. The stairwells always smell strongly of smoke. - There is very little security in the building because of a “spa” and a bar running on the second floor. The cameras in the hallways apparently don’t work so when packages go missing you are out of luck. P.S. The “spa” definitely sends out happy male customers that look guilty when leaving and is open 24-7. Make of that what you will…. - Rent was hiked crazily every year without room for negotiation. - Saw one mouse and one dead cockroach during my stay.
Advice to the owners
Be realistic with the price for what the building is
