Excellent landlord and great location!
Pros
-Family owned. Landlord and super are very responsive to requests. Only experienced minor issues and they were very quick to respond each time. -Close to central park and major subways. -Building is serviced each month by a pest control company and offers each unit service (paid for by the landlord). Never had an issue with bugs here. -Beautiful exposed brick and charming historic touches preserved well. -Not much transience. Most people in the building have been living here for years. -Building has a really cool history in the art scene. -While the tenants usually keep to themselves, neighbors are very friendly and there is a community-oriented vibe.
Cons
-Old building so there is poor insulation. Difficult to heat/cool. Summers are okay but bedroom can get cold in the winter even with the heat. -Noise does travel between apartments very easily. Most people have rugs to limit noise. Walking around in boots and heels inside the apartments is discouraged.
Advice to the owners
No advice, just thanks for being so great!
