Nice building in bad neighborhood
Pros
The building is small, quiet, and well-maintained. There is a security guard/front desk attendant and they are usually pretty friendly. The apartment itself has plenty of closet space. Electricity and gas are included in the rent.
Cons
There is a van/SUV parked directly in front of the building that deals drugs 24/7. Someone is always sitting in it, often blaring music. Crowds of people come and hang out on the sidewalk next to the van. Regarding the building, there are too few washing machines and dryers. The mailboxes need to be larger.
Advice to the owners
Work with the NYPD to get that van away from the building.
Not bad for first time rentsr
Pros
-It's brand new and has great facilities. -I rarely hear my neighbors. -There isn't any particular crime activity in the building. -Most of the security gaurds are nice. -Elevators are usually always working fine.
Cons
- The property manager Daniel has the managerial skills of a sixth grader who just made student body president. Don't expect to hear from him unless it's something vapid. He clearly doesn't care about the tenants or perhaps he doesnt have the wherewithal to care. Or maybe he's isn't self aware? Regardless of the reason he is extremely incompetent. - Sometimes maintenance won't come to help you after five or so. Despite the super being around. It's fine it's just annoying. If you weren't in the area that's one thing but if I see you in the building at nine o clock I shouldn't have to call a locksmith to open my door. - These people, Daniel specifically, will waltz up and knock on your door at all hours like an inconsiderate jerk, just to waste your time. If you get a knock and its him? Don't answer. It's probably policy you already know about.
Advice to the owners
Get it together Daniel.
