Great location, poorly maintained building
Pros
The location is great, everything is in close proximity. Friendly neighbors, super is available most of the time.
Cons
Awful pest control for an old building surrounded by restaurants. The intercom hasn't been updated since the last century. Same goes for appliances.
Advice to the owners
Update your property, it's time. The turnaround for tenants is very high for a reason.
Regret moving here
Pros
Rent stabilized apartment
Cons
Had a dirty, broken apartment when I moved in with dead roaches and bait all over the cabinets and living behind the kitchen counter. After a year of pest control, they’re still all over the building and in the hallways. Also had mold, mice and pigeon droppings. The super won’t do anything unless you specifically research and tell him everything he needs to do. I ended up spending over $1k in my own pest control to make the apartment livable
Advice to the owners
Inspect/clean and repair the apartments in-between tenants
