Cons:

No in building laundry

Advice to owner:
Do everything possible to stay on top of pest control. The street generates a lot of trash which attracts them. I realize this is out of the building managements control, but it’s nonetheless something to be aware of and work to mitigate

A disaster of a building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Arguably nothing! Except location, which is questionable, too!
Cons:
Every day, I would wake up half a dozen mice would be trapped on glue traps in the kitchen alone, trash piled up in the main doorway, disruptive construction that had no reason to be occurring except to harass rent-stabilized tenants though it worked to harass those who were at market rate too! Any and every complaint was systematically ignored and money was (of course) stolen. Truly a disaster.
Advice to owner:
Sell the building. Spare people your ineptitude. It’s one of the worse living situations I was ever in.

Horrible Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
N/A don’t have any
Cons:
120 Macdougal is mismanaged by Westminster Properties. I lived in this buildings for one year. I didn’t have horrible issues with my apartment besides mold in the shower. With that said, Management is totally unresponsive at all times - it was extremely frustrating to not be able to reach anyone via phone call or get a response via email - even after leaving 10 messages, emailing 10 times. They would email me non stop with information about paying rent but when you respond with questions, they don’t email back. I had to threaten legal action to get them to tell me my move out procedures / get my security deposit back. This is not the type of living experience you should get when paying 2500 a month for rent. I would not recommend this building.
Advice to owner:
Respond to your tenants. Your building is plummeting in value, the least you could do is ensure the people who are paying rent want to stay.
