Great place to start out in NYC in your 20s
Pros
The building itself is nice. At times it’s a little run down and the elevator was always acting up. But I think the amenities were a nice touch, and locationally it’s nice to be between central Bedstuy and central Bushwick.
Cons
Honestly management was ok. The only issues we had were with our fridge. It literally made vegetables turn frozen no matter what temperature it was set at. And at one point it made the food taste like coolant. They never fixed it. But other than that we were happy. The super is very very nice. Always happy to help and super hardworking.
Run down building with a fresh coat of paint
Pros
Next to public transportation, has a courtyard for trash, supers are very nice
Cons
Advertised as renovated but all they did was put in some kitchen cabinets. The appliances leak, the kitchen drain backs up and floods the counter, hot water randomly disappears, bathroom tiles are coming off the floor, central air doesn't work, they charge a convenience fee to pay rent by direct deposit, laundry room is expensive.
Advice to the owners
Stop trying to fix buildings and renovate after you move people in.
