Decent building in a great location
Pros
Great location, thick walls, perfect sized apartment for two
Cons
Classic prewar issues - radiator heat inconsistency, occasional hot water issues, old windows that let in a lot of sound and dirt from the outside
Advice to the owners
Replace the windows!!
Major damage and neglect
Pros
The neighbors and location are great.
Cons
They cracked the facade in the back and refuse to properly fix it so now every time it rains, my apparently flooded as did many of the other apartments in the building. The floors are crooked so when it floods from the outside, the entire room floods. They also built a nail salon vent directly across from my window which mixed with the rot in the building walls and caused my roommate and I to have breathing problems.
Advice to the owners
Fix the hole in the façade before it separates from the rest of the building like that apartment building in Brooklyn.
