Not Worth the Stress
Pros
Prime location in Bed-Stuy with plenty of nearby cafes, restaurants and parks. Spacious apartment. In-unit washer and dryer.
Cons
Some of the tenants are disgusting and leave trash in the building, causing a major pest problem. You can’t get packages sent there because a tenant watches the delivery trucks all day and steals the packages upon delivery. There are very loud tenants who go through the hallways yelling and stomping up the steps. A few neighbors had to get ring cams because it’s so bad. You can tell the landlords don’t really care either. They’ll send a mass email to the building with warnings, but no significant action to rectify poor tenant behavior. The people coming to clean the building so the bare minimum. Besides the location and size the apartment, you’re pretty much living in hell.
Advice to the owners
