The building is old and it shows but the management is great
Pros
Fair rent, washer, and dryer in the building, building manager and super are very nice and quick to help with every need, fixed fair price for electricity
Cons
the building is super old and it shows the stairs are crooked, and the floor is crooked too. cockroaches are a thing, shower drain is not the best. not allowed on the roof.
Advice to the owners
more pest repellant, and change carpet on stairs. Other than that all the other problems can be realistically solved.
It is OK
Pros
It’s above a deli. Tough to find space in Manhattan, this is a space. No one really bothers us
Cons
Washer and dryer not included - it’s been broken for years and landlord has not fixed. Many cracks in the walls where the bugs crawl into once we turn the lights on. Windows are broken so I just stuff blankets to cover up the spaces during the winter. I’d recommend a personal heater. Strong fishy smell from the restaurant below sticks around during the summer, you get used to it.
