Great neighborhood but that's all
Pros
It's in a really good pocket of Astoria convenient to a lot of public transportation and a lot of businesses such as restaurants and bars. The block itself is pretty quiet and safe.
Cons
the building is incredibly old and not well maintained at all. Upkeep is extremely minimal and a lot of things fell apart.
Advice to the owners
take more pride in the building and be more attentive to the basic needs of the people who live there.
Not great upkeep
Pros
The neighborhood is amazing , and the price is right
Cons
The building is falling apart. Rotting out windows , and mold in the bathroom. That said , I never have had any issue with bugs (other than the occasional terrifying centipede). The management really doesn’t keep up with modernizing the building. My apt needs to be fully gutted One of our rooms is deathly hot , and we can’t control the radiator
Advice to the owners
Check in with your tenants more. In particular , long term responsible tenants ! Our home is in desperate need of some renovation , and we have payed on time for ten years. It would be nice to feel valued
