Beautiful building, slumlord, poorly taken care of
Pros
Rent stabilized deal, good lighting, kind neighbors, pretty prewar molding
Cons
they fired our super and have refused repairs for months. I've had an active carpenter ant infestation, a few different leaks go unrepaired. In 2024 we had the heat go out for 20 days straight. Really bad management
Advice to the owners
actually hire a super. pay your damn gas bill so they don't disconnect the whole building. treat leaks and pest issues because it'll ruin the foundation of your beautiful building that you won't take care of. really frustrating and disappointing experience
Not Very Good
Pros
Great location, great tenants. Management can be friendly and easy to reach.
Cons
Infested inside and out. Trash and rats both living and dead in the basement (laundry room). Garbage disposal area is filthy and full of debris that hasn’t been cleared for months. Trash constantly overflows due to limited space and lack of disposal. Battles with management for things like working laundry or heat. Brown water. Temperature too high from water pipes/radiators—need to open windows during the winter. Lack of soundproofing and creaky floors means you will hear neighbors all the time. Holes and cracks in the walls. Leaks, floods. The glass in the front door has been smashed for months. Weekly package thieves. Rent increases. Gaps in doors and windows.
