Good with caveats
Pros
- No personal experience with pests - Laundry in building - Rent stabilized - Great water pressure
Cons
- Walls are VERY thin - constantly hear neighbors fighting - Apartment is rather cramped - Common area very cramped - Basement where laundry and garbage is located is dirty
Mismanaged building/possible slum lords
Pros
Quiet building. Location isn’t bad if you don’t mind living east of York Ave. rent is fairly low.
Cons
The building manager and super are never to be seen from or heard from so if you have a problem in your apartment, Godspeed. It will take forever to get anything looked at or fixed. The neighbors are a mix of residents that have been there for 20+ years and very young residents so you will have a mix of noisy neighbors as well as neighbors who are hoarders with their personal belongings spilling into the hallway. Walls are thin and can hear neighbors laughing and talking. Common space is not clean and always smells of mold. Heat is not reliable in the winter, management doesn’t do anything about it.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive and care about your tenants.
