Decent Starter Apartment
Pros
- Good price - Great location - Cozy space for a 1 bedroom - Built in shelves in the living room - Respectful neighbors
Cons
- No matter what the outside temperature is, the apartment is a SAUNA. It gets so unbearably hot - The stairs are uneven and steep - Packages get stolen a decent amount because there’s no safe place for them - The faucets all leak and there’s water everywhere - Fire escape is wobbly - The walls and doors are so thin you can hear everything coming from inside another apartment when you’re in the hallway
Advice to the owners
Turn down the heat, fix the faucets, fix the stairs to make them safe, and find a decent place for packages so they don’t get stolen
OK for Rent Stabilized
Pros
Kind neighbors for the most part, Super was responsive with smaller routine NYC issues that occur in these low rise buildings such as pest management.
Cons
Issues start when more complex repairs are required, such as fridge repairs or issues from a leak. I believe this is because the building uses outside contractors for these repairs, and no doubt hired the cheapest contractors they could find.
