Building in great area!
Pros
Brownstone with laundry facilities in a wonderful area.
Cons
Unless you remind owner/management and/or bring issues to their attention, building maintenance ( but not including garbage removal: and that only happens b/c they’d get fined otherwise), can get terribly unkempt. The biggest problem has been the many incidents of rats in the garbage area, including their making a nest/living space inside downstairs utility closet. Worst aspect of this is that outside light for this entrance + garbage area ( and in halls, stairways,basement laundry area ) are frequently out. Not uncommon to lift a garbage lid and see a rat shoot out.
Advice to the owners
Keep on top of rodent and insect infiltration. Also that garbage in laundry area gets removed regularly. Lightbulbs for stairways, laundry area, hallways. Most important: outside light for garbage area is out 99% of the time. Not uncommon to lift a garbage lid and see a rat shoot out.
