Crown heights just ok
Pros
For a first floor and two years in the building I never saw a roach
Cons
I DID have a mouse and often felt a bit unsafe with the housing next door
Advice to the owners
Be a bit more responsive when tenants have rodent issues
Utility theft by neighbors, not resolved by building management
Pros
Clean, safe neighborhood, while I was still living there,
Cons
I did not request gas closure at the time of leaving due to management request, saying the new tenant would take over the utilities. Whichever tenant moved into my unit after I left never took action to take over the utilities despite repeated requests,--then I was told by NationalGrid that they would not do anything, and that I was responsible for paying the tenant's utility bill--this effectively stole several hundred dollars from me via utility theft. Additionally, the building super is not on site, there is no way to contact the building super except via management company, and they are only open during normal work hours Monday-Thursday, so any building emergency Friday-Sunday or off hours cannot be handled.
Advice to the owners
include gas utilities in rent plus any additional management fee.
