2100-2110 Bx Pk E Short n Sweet
Pros
This location is a complex of six six-story buildings, three entrances, the nicer one being the one on Bronx Park East. It is conveniently located in terms of public transportation: the 2 line stops a couple blocks away while the 5 isn't far. Also, several bus lines plus an express bus service into the city all run nearby. Parking around here is a nightmare though. This complex has a laundry facility in the basement, albeit one; maintenance is done daily, but there are tenants that think nothing of littering. The area has become more commercialized in the last, say fifteen years or so.
Cons
Heating can be a bit of an issue, definitely not a regular problem at all, but the boiler reportedly has caused some issues, particularly at the start of the cold season. An occasional winter inconvenience, yes. Then it gets quite warm.
Advice to the owners
New owner, Progressive Management, has been hard to get a hold of since the beginning. Maintenance and the superintendent are very responsive though.
terrible experience here
Pros
parking lot is convenient for an area with not a lot of parking. the super is great.
Cons
extremely stingy with the heat. my con ed bill came out to $240 just so i can keep the home warm enough with a space heater for my baby. small elevator that’s consistently going out of order , AND the laundry room doesn’t work.. just overall a very awful experience not worth it at all. floors are creaky, and you can hear your upstairs neighbors RUNNING, stomping, walking, whatever- and it shakes the ceiling fan. lack of outlets, and walls have lead paint. nothing good store wise in the area and the neighborhood is a very long commute. overall a very disappointing, uncomfortable and frustrating experience living here with an unresponsive mgmt company that overall doesn’t seem to care at all about making anything better.
Advice to the owners
have a soul and actually care about your tenants
