I mean, it's a co-op so
Pros
Large units with good equipment. Elevator always worked. Decent amenities for a building of this size. Near transit
Cons
Neighborhood isnt great. Police precinct next door was quite a nuisance. Since each unit is owned by an individual, landlord experience will vary wildly. Unit came with non-functioning heat (not the fault of my landlord, to be fair). My landlord was responsive and put up the money to fix stuff since it was their home. Only issue is co-op landlords tend not to know the law around renting which caused problems on move-out.
Advice to the owners
To the building; not much To the landlords: learn about rental laws
Great Four Years
Pros
Quiet residential area Lots of restaurants/grocery stores/braid shops/barbershops/delis Nearby 3, ABCD Police station/park garage next door Building is nice Neighbors aren’t nosy at all
Cons
The stairwells don’t get cleaned as often, so the one waterbug I ever saw in my four years was down there on the street level. Not really a con, I’m just fishing for something to write honestly. The only other thing is not enough strength equipment in the gym. We didn’t need a Peloton…
