Overpriced and unresponsive maintenance
Pros
Good location and quiet street and neighbors
Cons
Always had water issues, semi frequent pest issues with landlord not following up and rats ALL OVER the bl
Ok first NYC apartment
Pros
The unit was advertised as a 1 bedroom but it was definitely a studio converted. For ~300 square ft, it did have a lot of storage and closet space and many storage shelves in the bathroom. There was also an in unit washer/dryer which was a big bonus (especially during COVID). The bathroom was pretty upgraded as well. Had a mini dish washer. I had only signed an 11 month lease (they wouldn’t let me sign longer) and moved out after 10 months, was a pretty good tenant and received all of my security deposit back.
Cons
Was on the 4th floor of a walk up so moving in and out and any bigger deliverers of furniture was not ideal. There was no counter space or storage in the kitchen. Building management was pretty slow to respond to anything and normally never had a solution when they did. Packages ALWAYS got stolen. I stopped ordering anything to my home after a one of a kind jacket got taken.
Advice to the owners
Put in a virtual doorman or security cameras. Theft was a huge problem.
