Old building being ignored
Pros
Close to the 6 train. Can get over to the Harlem River shopping area easily. As 3rd street continues to change this location will become better.
Cons
Unsecured trash cans that are constantly dumped with non-tenant objects, there have been mattresses at times. Rats constantly run from inside the overfilled cans. Roaches (German and American), make sure to get all the stuff you need to keep them under control. Appliances are very dated, some tenants have said they had broken appliances when moving in and had to argue to get them replaced. The neighboring building has tenant issues that get bad every summer. Strangers are constantly sitting on the front stairs.
Advice to the owners
Start upgrading your units soon or you'll miss out on the opportunity that comes with change. Continue to ignore and laze about this building and you'll end up losing it one day.
