Stay Far away
Pros
You can usually find parking. Not too far from LIRR
Cons
Management is unresponsive and dismissive. Repairs are done only if they are minor. The building is old and not kept up to date, but will raise the rent as if they upgrade. There are vermin and you can hear everything through these thin walls. *UPDATE* It has been 6 months waitng on repairs!!!! Unresponsive to emails and calls. 311 activated and no movement. Please don't rent here unless it is your last resort. They leave you no choice but to litigate. *update*. After no movement on repairs, I have broken my lease and moved as of last year.
Advice to the owners
Try to retain renters that pay their rent on time and cause no issues. You treat all of your tenants as if they are living for free. Horrible business acumen!
Dirty, Poorly Managed
Pros
Good location, fine pricing, rent stabilized if you can find it, noise isn't bad, and good neighbors live here
Cons
Terrible management. Apartment front door has not locked in 11 months. Super takes weeks to fix anything (if he remembers or answers your calls). Trash piles up in front of the building and spills out because they don't change out the bags. Rats scurry in front of your feet as you walk in the door. The heat is stingy during the mild winter days.
