A starter apt
Pros
Large (appx 400 sf), countertop space, radiator is mostly quiet and works well as do heating rods, nice neighbor, really nice super, close to 6 & Q, 92y, asphalt green, etc
Cons
Bldg stays infested with roaches; it's just up to them when they want to enter your apt. No matter how clean you are, you will have them. Floor is slanted in my unit (don't expect your yoga ball to stay in one place), countertops have stains and knife marks ok them from previous tenant, radiator has decades of dust piled up as well as above kitchen windows (tried to clean, but I got sick from it). Had to install my own weatherstrip for the front door. One of the streetfacing windows doesn't close entirely, which is more of a problem in the summer. Third Ave Ale House can be really loud and blast their music in the summer months (sometimes have to call and ask them to turn it down).
Advice to the owners
Invest in the building with the proper repairs and renovations. Find a way to put trash outside so the bldg is not constantly infested. Build a ledge in the lobby so packages can be dropped off there and not the ground where people walk. Mop the stairwell and lobby.
Cute neighborhood, decent units
Pros
Great neighborhood, spacious units, relatively clean
Cons
Not super organized super
