Good place to live
Pros
- Haven't had a pest problem in any of my 11 months here - Trash is removed regularly - Good appliances, recently renovated - Superintendent is friendly, responsive, and lives very close by - Nice neighborhood, close to the F/G but not loud at all - Buzzer system is old but works pretty well - Rent-stabilized
Cons
- Washers/dryers in shared laundry room sometimes don't work (one of the washers got clogged and overflowed once) - Radiator warms up the place quickly, but hard to reduce the heat—some winter days end up stiflingly hot - Not a great deal of natural light for the price. Bedroom has one small courtyard-facing window, and the living room windows are all west-facing and get easily obscured by neighboring buildings
Advice to the owners
Regularly check the washers/dryers
Decent can be better
Pros
Great location, high ceilings, and prewar charm.
Cons
Management doesn’t respond in time for repairs. Certain aspects of the apartment are very old and dated such as kitchen and flooring.
Advice to the owners
Be more attentive on repairs and better maintenance of shared areas. Install security cameras high theft of packages. Update tenant names on the doorbells!
