Be prepared to do it yourself!
Pros
Location, Location, Location
Cons
The building management is completely unreliable to manage: maintenance issues tenant to tenant issues mail / package theft issues constant elevator break downs Mail boxes falling off the wall Roaches are a constant issue Mice? I suggest you get a cat Constant turnover of apartments
Advice to the owners
Get rid of the mice and roaches
Typical NYC Landlords
Pros
The location is decent. Heat and hot water generally work. Trash/recycling goes in the basement, and someone brings it to the curb on the select days.
Cons
The management is incredibly unresponsive. They might or might not respond to emails, and they took months to resolve many complaints (ie. heat, intercom). I also had to file a rental insurance claim for an incident, and the management never sent me a report of the incident despite a verbal assurance in-person and months of repeated emails. The basement does see cockroaches, although pest control is pretty decent. There's no compost bin, but perhaps that's for the best.
