1 yr. bedbug disclosure form
Pros
I never signed this lease, this is simply about the lease signing process!
Cons
When I was given the lease, the lease was missing many pages about window safety, fire safety, and most importantly, the one year bedbug disclosure form. The building has not filed a bedbug history report since 2020 (or maybe before) as is shown on the HPD website. When I asked for the bedbug history the broker said he had never heard of the form or seen these HPD violations on the building, and the owner refused to file a report with the HPD saying that it would "take too long". He never shared a bedbug history report with me, only saying over the phone that other tenants had "never complained" or told him about bedbug issues. While I don't think the building has bedbugs, I find it very strange that the owner refused to share a bedbug history with me, and tried to tell me I didn't know what I was talking about when I brought up NYC tenant rights and the 1 year bedbug disclosure form. Also, heat and hot water are not included in rent which was not mentioned until seeing the lease. On top of overpriced rent for a building with zero amenities, it's just not worth it!
BE CAREFUL OF SCAMMERS
Pros
Great area and nice building
Cons
THE OWNERS ARE SCAMMERS. Be very careful about signing a lease here. We were kicked out after moving in because the owner disagreed with the property manager on the amount they had leased it out to us on.
