inexpensive but dangerous
Pros
Super is great but you have to build a rapport with him Distance to subway is nice
Cons
AVOID LANGSAM PROPERTIES AT ALL COSTS Property owner is very unresponsive A lot of bugs and cockroaches even if you keep your own apartment clean because the building itself is pretty dirty Many tenants who get the cops called on them repeatedly because they do not know how to take care of themselves and are mentally unwell. If you have to live here definitely do research on your upstairs neighbor beforehand, because if you get stuck under a terrible one there’s a good chance you will be put in danger, have many sleepless nights, multiple leaks, and have your ceiling collapse at least twice (speaking from experience). The SWAT team even came for you upstairs neighbor, and the property manager continued to let the neighbor stay. Even if you cancel your lease, they’ll come back and try to extort more money out of you. They really do not care about you in the slightest.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive—people’s lives are at stake, all they want is a timely response from you.
Awful building and neighbors
Pros
Location. Nothing else.
Cons
Move in to 7th floor at your own risk. A mentally ill man lives there-7E. He’s destructive, threatening, and will slam his door incessantly when he has mental breakdowns (very often). He broke through the wall in the adjacent apartment.
Advice to the owners
BE INVOLVED. BE HONEST. BE PROACTIVE.
