Overall good experience
Pros
Mail handled well
Cons
Building was built in the 1800s so windows are not well insulated. This means that the building does not keep AC inside during the summer causing high electric bills through Con Edison.
Advice to the owners
Update window insulation
You get what you pay for
Pros
Very reasonably priced, especially on a safe, tree-lined street. Close to subway. Super is friendly and responsive. Reliable trash/recycling removal.
Cons
Water pressure in the shower is awful and the water temperature doesn’t remain consistent. The building is old; things are constantly breaking, floors are uneven, walls are thin, pipes are so loud. Laundry machines aren’t serviced, so clothes often come back with gross mildew stains. Basement/laundry area is infested with cockroaches. Oh and they raised rent during COVID.
Advice to the owners
Service/clean the laundry machines. Take care of the building.
