EXTREMELY thin walls
Pros
Rent stabilized, great super, right by the park.
Cons
The walls and ceiling here are truly paper thin. You can hear every footstep above you, and if you have loud neighbors you can literally hear every word they say. If you are looking to rent in this building, do yourself a favor and just really try to listen in the unit. We had 24/7 noise in our apartment that made it impossible to work from home or sleep. When we spoke to other tenants, we realized that many had similar issues. I know folks on higher floors have an easier time, but if you are looking at an apartment on the 2-3 floor just be really aware of who your neighbors are.
Standard MIA Landlords
Pros
Great unit sizes/layouts and location.
Cons
Cheapest of all appliances and furnishings. Building management is slow moving on repairs or otherwise completely ignore requests. Super does shoddy work on repairs (using mismatching tiles when broken, using caulk or grout that isn’t sealed) and with no urgency. Recently windows were replaced without warning with ones that block sunlight and views.
Advice to the owners
Invest more in your property and tenants. Visit the building from time to time to see how your choices are effecting tenants lives
