Big tall ceilings come at a price: hard to heat
Pros
Huge size for $3900. Big tall ceilings + loads of light make you feel like you’re not in an nyc apartment. It’s fair priced.
Cons
Winter here has been tough. Big drafty windows = poor insulation. My roommate and I are emptying our wallets every month when the bill comes. However the middle rooms with no window are overheated. We saw roaches in the summer being above a pizza shop. Champion pizza which used to play loud clubby music until 3am in the morning but luckily we pleaded with them enough to stop. The landlords seem like nice enough guys but they do not have garbage cans for us so we’re just putting our trash on the street which is against the law. They don’t come by the building often because they have all these notices from The city about it. Biggest con about living here is it’s not a very attractive location. Ugly storefronts with flashing lights and lots of foot traffic. But that’s nyc for you
Advice to the owners
More responsiveness and checking the door- there’s often city mandated notices and court orders for the trash problem that you guys are missing
Some issues, landlords helpful
Pros
They have made improvements on the door outside and have been responsive to issues.
Cons
The electrical outlets were painted over, sometimes the heat doesn't work.
Advice to the owners
Check out the heating system.
