Unsanitary conditions and unresponsive management
Pros
The building is quiet most of the time. There is laundry
Cons
The management allows people to let their dogs poop in the shared courtyard. There are also feral cats living there. It’s a space that everyone uses and has to cross through to get to the laundry room and the ground is COVERED in dog poop most of the time. Even after documenting who was letting their dog poop outside, the management has done nothing and posted no signage. This is illegal and a public health violation.
Advice to the owners
Clean up the courtyard and make it sanitary.
Mixed bag, be prepared!
Pros
Rent stabilized, aspects of the neighborhood (so many grocery stores!), the layout and closet space is amazing
Cons
The walls are super thin, some issues within the building (people smoking in the lobby, the buzzer in the apt didn’t work, less than responsive mgt, packages get stolen)
Advice to the owners
Better insulation, faster maintenance, the super needs to address some of the tenant behavior
