Great location and price, awful building management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very conveniently located near the B and Q trains
Quiet building, no riff raff.
Super is a nice guy and lives in building.
Rent stabilized, below market value
Apartment updates, renovations as old families move out
Cons:
halls and trash rooms only moderately well maintained. Building refuses to do work to the trash rooms to secure from bugs.

Bedbugs in building!! Building management turns a blind eye and refuses to treat. Annual bedbug filing notice on lobby wall is 4 years old, refuses to post current version despite repeated requests.

Building management refuses to comply with certain recycling requirements and does not compost. After a year of requests to install compost bins, they put one out but they don’t actually use it. Anything that goes into it just gets thrown with the trash.

Building management largely unresponsive to email.
They are also cheap cheap cheap.
Advice to owner:
Replace current property manager with someone responsive, understands the job and gets things done.

Get a proper property manager that gives a single f-
