Great location awful building
Pros
Location is amazing
Cons
Outside noise is so bad. Garbage trucks come at midnight and even being on a higher floor it feels like you’re inside the truck. So loud. And you can hear people yelling outside, loud cars, loud music. I’ve lived in New York for over a decade and this is louder that usuall. Also you can definitely hear neighbors stomping around. Not a lot of peace and quiet. Also every other Sunday someone cooks something that smells so fishy and the smell literally seeps into my apartment. Overstimulation central. Also the trash is kept inside the apartment building ground level and it’s so smelly on bad days. People pay way too much to live here. I’ve seen roaches in the main staircase and I don’t doubt the walls are covered in them. The super can be responsive but he will often do whatever he wants / not exactly what you’re asking for. Even when things break or need to get fixed it could take forever or be quick. But you never know or get a clear explanation of anything.
Advice to the owners
Do better for the amount of rent you charge
Great Spot
Pros
Management and super are responsive, kind, and respectful. Building is older but is well maintained and super does a great job of providing tenants with any necessary updates/info.
Cons
Water pressure not great but other than that no complaints.
