Awful disgusting building
Former Tenant
Pros:
The super and his staff are amazing! Carlos and team do everything in their power to make it was easy as possible. They are so over-worked but they work so hard and are so nice.
Cons:
The landlord and the property manager are f***ing AWFUL! No responses, no safety, no care at all. I hope Langsam Properties burns to the ground. This building is SO dirty, it stinks so bad, they ignore their tenants, and they are awful. They try to do illegal stuff like raise the rent insanely for rent-stabilized units, thinking that their tenants don’t know better. They ignore you, they won’t help. The cameras have been broken for years and they refuse to fix it even though we get our packages stolen daily. The property manager is supposed to get us connected to the building buzzer and still hasn’t after a month. Matter of fact, I still haven’t heard from the property manager, landlord or anybody. The super carries this building on his back but he is overworked and under appreciated by this property team. I wish them nothing but the worst. They are just money hungry, stereotypical, disgusting landlords here.
Advice to owner:
You’re disgusting.

Disgusting Place - NO
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartment unit was big with lots of windows and high ceilings. Garbage shoot on every floor.
Cons:
Bed bugs! Building was unsafe as people on the street just wander in. There are rats everywhere. In the wall, ceiling, basement. I couldn't go downstairs for recycling because it was infested with rats. Clearly a slum building and not taken care of.
Advice to owner:
take care of your tenants.
