Reviews of 21-38 31 Street

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Incompetent management and owners

Pros

Large affordable apartment (due to reforms to rent stabilization laws)

Cons

It has been at least 15 YEARS since the hallways and stairs have been painted. Owner installed new security system and mailboxes 3 years ago but they were never made functional. They remain untouched.

Advice to the owners

Paint the interior stairways and halls. And sweep and mop the floors. Twice a year is not enough. And figure out the garbage. Twice a week the corner of the courtyard is piled 6 feet high with trash and recycling. This is not rocket science and it is an unsightly health hazard.
