Ok building. Not great; Not Bad
Pros
Cheap rent stabilized. Right off eastern parkway so a little noisy but not terrible
Cons
The Super Rahul does not speak English well and is reluctant to help with any issues. So yo need to call, and then he’ll say in 3 hours, then he won’t show up, and then you call again and he won’t show up and so on. It’s annoying you really need to badger him and it’s hard to understand what he is saying and he is aggresive for no reason. But you usually don’t have to deal with this guy more than a few times a year. His son is better Building owners are unresponsive. Heat is a heat or a miss on days.
Advice to the owners

Disgusting building with roaches, bedbugs, and smoke, in a great location
Pros
- Amazing location - Beautiful, grand old building - Big apartments for the price/neighborhood - Many neighbors are nice people - Super is helpful when you can get in touch with him and when he decides to actually come - Elevator - Decent appliances
Cons
- Super rarely responds to texts - Owner is hard to get in touch with (they never check voicemails and have no official email; emailing individual employees is usually the best bet) - Bedbugs throughout the building, neighbors are not responsible and haven't cooperated with exterminators to eliminate them for over a year now - Lots and lots of roaches - Building not kept up very well, frequently dirty common areas/basement - Anything nonessential in your unit (e.g. fridge or cabinets) will never be fixed if it breaks - People in the building smoke and it will seep through the floors - Packages often get stolen - everyone knows who the package thief is, he has relatives in the building, but nobody will do anything about it - Slow elevators - Landlord's leasing agent is dishonest - Can hear/feel the subway going by
Advice to the owners
Sell this beautiful building to someone who can actually take care of it.
