Crumbling Down Around You
Pros
The location is cool and the roof access is nice
Cons
No pest control or garbage, packages stolen. They’ll steal your deposit even if you make your own repairs, paint & return the apartment cleaner than how you found it. They have a history raise of raising rent despite loft law enforcement of rent increases. They illegally charge tenants last month & admin fees on top of first and last security.
Advice to the owners
You should try another profession!
DIY HELL in BK
Pros
Roof Access Nice Neighbors Good Location
Cons
No pest control. Paper thin walls. Management and Owners unlikely to respond quickly to any repairs. Poor quality finishes. Illegally raising rent despite rent control. Nasty legal battle spanning years between. Management and Owners. Trucks illegally idling creates nasty fumes. Windows leak and are extremely drafty. Management has a history of harassment and intimidation, also have criminal arrests records for DV and Possession. Illegally locking exits and violationing NYFD codes. Illegal units without proper permits, occupancy licenses and blueprints.
Advice to the owners
Treat people well and perhaps they would stick around. I know in recent years decade long tenants have left due to poor quality of service and management.
