Basic studios with many long-term tenants
Pros
Well maintained overall and many units are rent-controlled or rent-stabilized
Cons
No laundry in the building and only dry cleaners nearby. No roof access despite nice views. Some disgruntled older tenants that expect quiet at all times unless they’re making the noise which is frequent.
Livable but requires maintenance
Pros
Great location. Rent stabilized units.
Cons
- Building security, flimsy front door lock, no cameras. - Stolen packages, each and every package you order gets stolen within an hour of delivery. - Noisy if you're facing the street. - Wooden stairs inside the building squeak loud. - Smells travel through the bathroom vent. - No roof access. - Poorly maintained building facade.
Advice to the owners
- Address building security. - Install double windows in all units, the old windows are falling apart. - Repair stairs.
