Small Space but good storage
Pros
There is a solid amount of storage for an apartment of this size (ours was a 2 bedroom with no living room, just a kitchen set up) but there is a large closet in the main room and both rooms have a 2 door and 3 door closet respectively. I was able to fit a queen bed, dresser, and full desk in my room. Very clean and updated, had laundry in unit and a dishwasher which was a huge plus. No issues at all with our neighbors. Neighborhood is safe and right downstairs is a trader joes. All in all a really solid apartment, just a small space.
Cons
Loud (next to freeway onramp - earplugs needed to sleep). It's VERY hot, even in the winter. No living room.
Advice to the owners
I think all in all this is a great, solid spot in NYC. Double paned windows would really increase the value of the property I think!
Nice area, apt is better than average. Unreasonable landlord.
Pros
Usually fairly clean and well maintained. Nice neighbors. Renovated apartments with higher quality materials than is usual in NYC (especially kitchen).
Cons
No cooking gas, oven and stove, for 6 months. Refused compensation. Rent increase during Covid in rent down market. Refusal to negotiate. Extremely creaky floors need redoing. Our buzzer never worked. We were told to give the door-code for deliveries or go downstairs to open the door. Mice and cockroaches and basement / laundry area seems dirty. Packages go missing frequently. No security cameras. Bathrooms need fans (mold).
Advice to the owners
Fix floors and negotiate on rent if you enjoy not losing money and not having lots of vacancies. And clean up the basement. Install cameras downstairs. Fix the buzzer.
