Lived in for over a decade
Pros
There are no pros. I stayed for so long because it was cheap, it is no longer cheap.
Cons
The official owner that they hid behind ‘Margo’ is a non entity. You are emailing with someone who does not exist & just exchanging more emails with George. It is very sketchy. They never once updated or painted public spaces, the trash is disgusting less than 3 feet away from front door & not taken out enough. There is a water bug infestation that was denied when presented with evidence. George gaslight me for years & always tried to get one over on me. He wanted me out of the apartment for years because my rent was low. It was raised $1,100 when I left. He forcibly tried to freeze me out in the winter for several years & I had to file complaints. Other tenants would buzz me at all hours because they forgot their keys. The front door was easy to jimmy open with a subway card or credit card & broke multiple times. George would also flirt & make me uncomfortable. He even hit on my mother. Someone put a muzzle on this guy.
Advice to the owners
Be better people & show Margo’s face. Stop being greedy & stop using the courtroom as your office, everyone knows you’re a slumlord.
