Decent spot in Bed-Stuy
Pros
Decently quiet, tallish ceilings
Cons
trash out front kinda gross, landlord raised rent super high
Advice to the owners
keep rent fair
Okay but not worth the price
Pros
Water pressure is good; location and proximity to trains, restaurants, and the city is good. Landlords were responsive about pest problems and central air system problems. Lots of grocery stores nearby and at least 1 laundromat very close by.
Cons
Insulation is terrible and winter gas costs were very high. Central air system turns on but heat and cool air escapes immediately because the insulation is so bad. We gave up on keeping AC and heat on because it just didn't work. Construction is happening in the building next door and will likely continue for the next 6 months at least, and it starts at 7am every day. It's quite loud. There is little to no natural light in the apartment, and earlier this year the hot water stopped working and landlords did not act or respond to any communications until about 4 days after the loss of hot water. There was still no communication to the tenants about the return of hot water, and no apology for the inconvenience. The size of the apartment is not worth the rent price as of 2023. There are much cheaper options in the same area. Rent will likely go up a lot during lease renewals.
