The Good & The Bad of 202 S 2nd
Pros
Location is unmatched but that's only because Williamsburg recently has become a hotspot to live. Its well located between L and J/M trains. Appliances are updated in my unit, and I have laundry in-unit which is a luxury in NYC especially older buildings. The current super to this building makes up for the unhelpful management/landlord, you can tell the super cares.
Cons
There's a ton of bugs in the units and in the hallway. The trash for all the building is kept in the hallway which is so dirty and always smells. Windows don't shut all the way. Water pressure and heat barely functions. My unit did get new appliances, but the rest of the unit was not renovated. The hardwood floors are as old as the building, they are all cracked and broken to which I get splinters and holes in my socks regularly. The walls and floors are also uneven, there is a slight tilt to the unit, so overall it hasn't been well kept or cared for.
Advice to the owners
Hire people to clean the building regularly, move trash outside the hallway. Also update the units that have clearly unkept parts to the original unit like flooring/windows. Listen to your tenets when they complain about things not working and be more responsive.
