Not bad at all

Pros

Only 8 apartments in the building which is great. Specious and beautiful apartment, lots of closet space, quiet area, right by the train, high ceilings, beautiful brick wall.

Cons

Roaches. Exterminator unprofessional and roaches never left. Had to get my own exterminator. Management lies about fixing issues but never does, management isn’t reliable, super isn’t too helpful with repairs (he blames it on management). A lot of junkies shooting up across the street. Third avenue is not a great neighborhood but the building is located in a secluded area so you don’t experience the bad part of third avenue.

Advice to the owners

Try to help your tenants when they continuously email you about problems. Try to clean the hallways to the building more often, be more conscious of the tenants and they’re lifestyle (there is a hoarder on the first floor who may be the reason behind the roach infestation).
