Apartment is great, area is horrible
Pros
The building is nice and the super is fantastic. Updated units that are well maintained.
Cons
The area is disgusting. The street, other than right outside of the building, is in horrific shape. Homeless people doing drugs at all times. Management is not responsive. Security is not there as often as they tell you when they sign your lease. Elevators are VERY dangerous. Have fallen with tenants inside multiple times. Package thefts every week.
Advice to the owners
Actually get security that's there when you say it will be.
Solid Quiet Spot in LES
Pros
Newer building A/C is quiet and effective Kitchen is fairly large Finishes are nice
Cons
My unit is fairly small (normal for LES) Lack of storage Mail room is a mess
Advice to the owners
Main thing is to fix the mail system. Incentivize people to pick up their packages and have more organization.
