roach problem, no heat, stolen packages
Pros
neighbors didn't cause noise issues
Cons
roaches, no heat in several bedrooms, stolen packages, rent increase without any sort of improvement, allowed consutrction on the building to start at 7am
Good and Bad in East Harlem
Pros
Convenient to 6 train, not too far from 4 and 5 trains, many grocery stores in the neighborhood
Cons
No doorman or security, corner of 116 and Lex is extremely dicey, lots of methadone clinics/gang members in the area
Advice to the owners
Secure the front door and get a more responsive superintendent, Recently updated apartments are modern and nicely done--more of that in the building would be ideal.
