lots of critters
Pros
good location good roof
Cons
cockroaches and mice! the neighbors in the building next door sorted cans everyday and their balcony was directly next to our window so i could hear cans being sorted from morning to night. the landlord does his best and is nice but owner is cheap and didn’t fix our buzzer for 6 months+. also packages were stolen 24/7 and the owner barely did anything about it
Advice to the owners
get better exterminators
Be prepared to REALLY compromise
Pros
-Good pricing (as of 2022) -The super is the a kind, hardworking, overall awesome person (Roque) -great proximity to a variety of subway and bus lines
Cons
-so many thieves nearby (your packages WILL BE STOLEN) -owners will not pay for repairs, even if it’s in the middle of winter and your window is about to fall out of the building frame. -the hot water will often not work. Yes also in the middle of winter. -it is not clean. Think pigeon sh*t all over the non street facing windows 24/7 and regular roach friends. -people on the street will warn you and tell you the building is cursed. Yes this happened to me, and yes I do now believe them. -be prepared to really gain some good ol nyc grit living here. -the call box will likely not work based on your unit, also leading to even more stolen packages. -the building is one of he least secure buildings in LES, to the point where if you ever chat with a cop about where you live and the building you’re in comes up, they will personally warm you about how insecure the building is.
Advice to the owners
Fix the g****** stuff wrong with the building. Do the bare minimum to ensure this is a livable place to live.
