Loved location but old building
Pros
-love East village location -amenities were p decent in unit and in building -they did make some improvements like adding delivery room and fobs for access
Cons
-garbage management is just putting trash in a room on the floor that would often overflow -elevator is old and sometimes not reliable -neighbors had pest issues -loud area and sometimes neighbors too
Sold the building and kicked everyone out
Pros
Tons of space, huge 2 bedroom units. Thick walls; very quiet in-between units. Elevator Amazing location
Cons
The family that owned the building for over 80 years sold it to a private equity company that gut-renovated all of the units and kicked out all of the existing tenants. Paid >$9k in a broker fee just to be told 2 months later that our lease wouldn't be renewed and we'd have to move. People who hang out at the bodega sit right on entrance step into the building. I've had to step over or around drunks guys, or one time someone actively shooting up.
Advice to the owners
You screwed over all the tenants 馃枙
