Dirty and bugs
Pros
good price and size apartments
Cons
the hallways stink, the basement is disguting- there’s roaches and mice at all times. they will crawl up into your rooms. They offer pest control 2x a month yet somehow the roaches are still freaking EVERYWHERE. I can not stress enough how dirty this place is.
Mice in walls that never go away
Pros
Rent stabilized, laundry in basement, elevator functional most of the time.
Cons
Absolutely zero support from management in regards to neighbor noise and neighbor refusal to follow rules. The trash chutes are tiny so neighbors put trash bags on the floor in the trash rooms to rot which attracts rodents. There are rodents living in and crawling all through the walls of my apartment and building floor. I can’t get rid of them because they’ve never been physically inside my apartment, but no matter what I do management has never effectively dealt with the issue. They’ll have someone spray intermittently and one will die every now and then and cause a stench for a few weeks, but the rodents have a system moving all through the walls surrounding the apartment, likely due to no insulation, and they won’t go away unless their access point is located and sealed. I get it, it’s New York, there will always be rodents. But I hear these animals LOUDLY 24/7. It’s disgusting and a health hazard
Advice to the owners
Get rid of the rodents in your walls and block whatever entry points they’re accessing from the basement. Enlarge the trash chutes they’re ridiculously tiny and trash management in the basement and trash rooms are the reason there are rodent issues.
