Great neighborhood and quaint building
Pros
Great location near many restaurants, grocery stores, post office, and public transportation options. Quiet street and area but very accessible.
Cons
Occasional package theft, no extended lease terms offered.
Abhorrent management agency
Pros
Little to say here, location is good (next to 96 St Q stop)
Cons
Incredibly overpriced for little room. Management agency attempted to raise rent 7% on an already overpriced apartment. Incredibly dirty and under maintained. We moved in to find significant water damage under the sink, mice and cockroaches in the apartment, damaged cabinet shelving, missing lighting fixtures, poorly installed outlets, decade old AC unit in bedroom - all issues submitted to management. The only issue addressed was replacing AC, thankfully! Despite our lease stating in writing, and cosigned by the landlord, that the kitchen would be renovated in full, the work was never completed and no compensation was provided. Moreover, when raised to the management company, the issue was dismissed as “not a standard clause on the lease” and no follow-up was provided. Several maintenance requests were marked as completed with no work provided. Recurrent issue of tenants’ pets urinating and defecating in stairwell. For more than half of lease term water has tasted like dirt.
