Good Staff but poorly managed building
Pros
Very nice and respectful management team Flexible Always willing to help
Cons
The building is old, and the walls are extremely thin. I can hear both the neighbor next to me and the neighbor below me walking around in their apartments. The noise is unbearable. I can also hear normal everyday activities such as cabinets being slammed, phone conversations, and other basic household noise. There is inadequate heating during the winter, and the apartments are poorly insulated from the cold. Maintenance issues are rarely properly addressed the repairs feel more like temporary band-aids rather than fixing the actual root of the problem. The garbage regularly overflows, causing terrible smells and attracting insects, and there is no on-site super in the building. There is also frequently a strong smell of cigarette smoke throughout the building, and management does nothing meaningful to address it.
Advice to the owners
Work with a contractor to improve the building’s sound insulation, hire an in-house super, and start taking your tenants’ concerns seriously.
THIN WALLS!
Pros
The super is super nice and responsible. He does a great job of keep the building tidy.
Cons
Super thin walls!!! I can hear my neighbors cough! Open drawers! And I have a neighbor above me that has cement blocks in his feet and stomps so hard he wakes me up! FYI I’m born and raised in Brooklyn, these walls are paper thin! Also there’s a bigger building transformer that hums all day.
Advice to the owners
Not sure but talk to contractor to see what solutions they offer. The noise is intolerable!
