Good location, no frills apartment, but overpriced and inattentive landlord
Pros
Grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, AC and 2/3/4/5 all 5-15 min walking distance. Less than 24 units Make sure to ask if your unit has in-unit w/d
Cons
Maintenance is pretty responsive 24-48 hrs for repairs, pest control, but hallways go 1-2 months without cleanings and are often dirty/sticky on stairwells. No elevator. Bring your own window AC unit While there’s a door code required to get in, package theft still occurs occasionally. (Prepare accordingly)
Advice to the owners
Keep the building clean. Install a new digital doorman system and cameras in the hallway. Conduct more pest control visits (we can hear rats in the walls and ceiling between units.) Have a more reliable communication system vs sending tenants to AppFolio and ignoring requests.
Expensive With Problems
Pros
Central heat/AC, access to transit, roof space
Cons
Rats in the basement, leaky ceiling from roof, broken drain in tub, poor water pressure, packages stolen, expensive rent
Advice to the owners
I think this is a fine place but the rent is far too high for what’s offered. This should be 900/month property, it’s not even in prime bushwick, and there are multiple problems with the place. If they lower the rent and you know that it’s not perfect, it’s a fine place to live for a year
