Bad Management & Terrible Sound Proofing
Pros
Nice laundry machines and loved my renovated kitchen as well.
Cons
I have lived in many apartments in NYC and this is by far the worst in terms of sound. I can hear when my neighbors drop anything, walk, or play music and had to invest in ear plugs (although that didn't help much.) I smell cigarette/cigar smoke often coming from other units nearby. The worst issue however is how little the management company and the superintendent communicate and work to solve issues.
It's...fine? It's fine. But there's bugs.
Pros
It's a good location near the subway stop. Parts of the apartment seem like they are recently remodeled.
Cons
Extreme and relentless roach problem in the kitchen. I'm exhausted from the constant vigilance. Also the landlord (unit owner) wants us to pay rent in cash which definitely feels unsafe and a little illegal?
Advice to the owners
Communication is really difficult--it's not clear who to contact with maintenance (or insect) problems.
