Pre-War Charm with Pre-War Problems
Pros
- Gorgeous building - Great neighborhood - Friendly neighbors - Spacious units - Rent stabilized (huge perk!)
Cons
- PESTS PESTS PESTS !!!!! I lived in this building for 3.5+ years (2019-2023) so I am very capable of speaking to the pest situation in this building. The entire time I lived there, there were signs on all the garbage shoots warning tenants that the roach infestation had reached “an emergency level” and to be mindful of throwing away trash responsibly. Of course I didn’t see the signs until I moved in. Roaches were a huge issue. I top of this, the last year I lived there I had a mice infestation (I killed 10-15 mice) and I HAD BED BUGS!!!!! It was like living in a nightmare that just kept getting worse. The super did the absolute bare minimum to maintain the building. The maintenance group does the same. If it wasn’t for the pests it would be a great building for the price- I loved living there. But I fully had trauma after moving out from all I had endured on the pest front. Horrific.
Advice to the owners
DO BETTER WITH THE ROACHES, MICE & BED BUGS
