A basic apartment building at a good price. Cockroaches!!
Pros
Great value (rent stabilized) Spacious Relatively quiet (good sound insulation in bedroom) Very dog friendly Maintenance requests fulfilled quickly Excellent location (next to park and right outside F stop)
Cons
Cockroaches!! Seemingly unkillable, management refuses to send a proper exterminator or block the holes in the wall to improve the situation. The floors in my apt are terrible (flaking), clearly finished improperly or very cheaply. Not enough light. No doorman, package deliver system (packages can get stolen easily). Neighbors LOUD (screeching teenagers/pre teens). Way too hot in winter (heating controlled by management). Outdated methods of contacting management (can only call, no web presence, only accepts rent by check). Management cheaps out on maintenance fixes (had to get a new dishwasher, new one is trash).
Advice to the owners
Get a website or email! Make payment easier. And please stop blasting the heating in winter. Fumigate your building.
