Spectacular location, aged building, shite management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is premium and well connected transit-wise, rent-stabilized building, dishwasher in my unit specifically, live-in super is a little grumpy but is on top of most maintenance and runs trash/recycling processes like it's the navy, trash chute on each floor
Cons:
A+E realty sucks major nuts and is IMPOSSIBLE to get in touch with for repairs/larger maintenance concerns (stove ignition has been broken since I've moved in without any recourse), bathroom has no ventilation other than a window, absolutely no storage space beyond tiny bedroom closets, mild pest issues (occasional mice and roaches), EGREGIOUS PACKAGE STEALING!!!
Advice to owner:
Answer the fucking phone and emails
