Poor experience with Angie
Pros
Brownstone details and character
Cons
The building itself has several issues, including poor soundproofing between apartments, drafty windows that need replacing, and a kitchen and bathroom that are in need of renovation. Separately, Angela shows little regard for tenants’ rights or her legal obligations. Communication is poor, and maintenance issues often go unresolved for long periods. She tends to respond only when she needs something herself, often rudely. She shows little consideration for her tenants and appears primarily motivated by greed, raising rents at every opportunity. I would not recommend renting from her.
Shitty landlord (Angela)
Pros
Location in a quiet neighborhood
Cons
Landlord only cares about money. I lived in this building for 5 years and complained about the broken window leaking heat in the winter all the time. They never fixed it. They never inspected the apartment before I moved out even though I asked them to many times and the landlord ending up taking $400 from my deposit. The apartment was in perfect condition. There was a rat issue at some point and the landlord blamed me even though a few of the apartments had the same issue. I had a broken fridge for over 2-3 months and had to video record the water dripping inside the fridge for them to replace it. All they want is to take your money so they can go to Greece every summer. They’re unappreciative of good tenants and do not care about anything relating to a human relationship.
Advice to the owners
Try to be more humane and maintain your building! $2800 a month rent is plenty of money to maintain the place.
