Great location to be in!
Pros
Great location, in unit laundry
Cons
hot water doesn't work sometimes and the unit gets cold during the winter
decent building w/awful bar on ground level
Pros
a lot of units are rent regulated and the location is convenient
Cons
Landlord is completely unresponsive. Likely a lot of illegally deregulated units in the building; beware of signing a lease and check DHCR records if you do. A lot of deferred maintinence was started then left unfinished (drywall, piping, etc). Awful loud bar downstairs, patrons constantly drink on stoop, leave cigarette butts and puke, block tenants from entering/exiting. Patrons also yell/scream at all hours. Crowd control is poor. Bar blasts music at all hours even 6 AM in the morning sometimes; you can hear it on the 2nd floor. Landlord does nothing about them. Also building security is very poor - multiple squatters have taken up residence during my tenancy.
Advice to the owners
Stop being an absentee landlord and follow the law. Stop lying about deregulated units or the legal rent.
