Short Lived Enjoyment and lack of hot water

Pros

Tenants often leave or share heat units. AC units may come with your unit. Building is good about installing and removing window units and DO NOT charge fees for that process. The pest problems in the garbage area mentioned in other posts have been fixed and are no longer relevant. Roof access is simple and offers a fantastic view! Really nice perk. Bathrooms are reasonably sized and microwaves are pre-built. Some units have dishwashers. Building has basement laundry (expensive). Management and super do answer the phone and do call tenants back. Building management used to be kind until they “brought in business partners”. As far as landlords go, worse exists but the noise, lack of remediation for noise and high costs limit available value on these tiny apartments.

Cons

Noise and cold in the winter! Apartments in the front of the building are frequently 64° during the day. Lack of quality, timely maintenance. Double digit annual rental increases for no increase in service. High tenant turn over. Bld laundry machines don’t work consistently and are overpriced. Mold issues are on-going. Be sure to get HPD to document the mold and be firm that painting over mold isn’t remediation. Coffee shop opened up in Q4 2025 and makes an unreasonable amount of noise that pumps into bedrooms. Double digit rental increases and noise are the norm. Like most units, streeteasy pricing is inflated. Front facing units turned into mini 2 bedrooms suffer from awful late night noise. Bedrooms sharing a wall with the stairwell suffer from noise at all hours of day and night. If you work from home in the living room, expect to be interrupted by not communicated noise. Laundry room is its own nightmare. The dryer often doesn’t work and there’s no sign to know.

Advice to the owners

Address noise issues between apartments. Notify tenants of noise causing projects such as construction and moving. Keep up with maintenance and fix it right the first time. Cease with the double digit YOY rental increases and reduce tenant turn over. Don’t accuse tenants of falsely reporting repairs that bldg super are fixing.
