A positive but mixed experience
Pros
It's a rent stabilized building, so that alone is enough to get many people to sign on. I also had no pests in the year I lived there which was nice - although I did see some (dead) in the laundry room. The super is really really awesome - very responsive and quick to address any issues that he has control over. The building is also the only residential building (along with its sister 11-25 46th Rd) on the street and faces Communitea and a school for special needs children, so it's generally very quiet on the street. The location is also great, being right by Court Sq and also Vernon Blvd.
Cons
At the same time, it's a rent stabilized building - so the management won't really care to keep it updated or nice. Tons of landlord specials - everything is painted over with white, and the electrical setup is terrible (per an electrician friend). The floor in my apt was quite sloped/nearly sunken which I got used to, but the biggest issue I had was that the bath tub was also sunken leading to standing water which is obviously horrible from a bacterial growth/health perspective.
It’s just old building
Pros
Water pressure is good. Cheap rent for nice and safe neighborhood.
Cons
We had mice and roaches problem. Heat is weak.
