The kind landlord you want avoid
Pros
Good location and neighborhood. Although G train is not very convenient.
Cons
All rooms are terrible with soundproof, noises coming from the same apartment, different floors of the building, and outside constructions. With more than three bedrooms, it can be too crowded; this is not a place for a professional employee who needs rest and personal time. The landlord is the worst. He is greedy and hard to communicate with. He can cause quite a drama and emotional distress if you are not renewing the lease or moving out early. Be prepared.
Advice to the owners
There will be days that you will learn your lesson.
Terrible Landlord - Would Not Rent
Pros
The unit itself was fine and is on the first floor. The rooms were all decently sized, and the backyard was nice.
Cons
The finishings and hardwood were a bit old and outdated, but that was expected of New York. The lighting inside the rooms were a bit dull as well. Water pressure was ok. Definitely needs a bit of a renovation though with paint and the floors. The biggest con is the landlord Lester. I have dealt with a good number of NYC landlords, but he has to be the most unprofessional one out of all of them. He is a terrible communicator and does not seem to care about you at all as a tenant. If you have a choice to live elsewhere, I would do it just so you did not have to deal with him as a landlord.
Advice to the owners
Minor improvements for the building, but please work on being a better landlord. Or just overall communicator.
