I love it here
Pros
Normal noise level for the city, good neighbors, packages don’t go missing, walking distance to grocery and shopping
Cons
Rent is gone up a lot over the last 2 years, management doesn’t always respond the fastest, seems to change option to pay rent online or not on or off so unable to pay my rent still for a while
Advice to the owners
The property owner is very nice building well maintained clean prop management co just maybe a name of a person to who were able to contact not general address that takes a while to respond
Summer Airbnb rat run. It’s a free for all.
Pros
Mail is left in the lobby to signal to Airbnb folks to which units they should head. Front door usually left unlocked or rfid 4 digit code always kept the same for quick cash overnight stays, illegal yes, but hey, a great way to conceal the Apartment Warehousing.
Cons
For about 1.5 years after being attacked by repairmen posing as agents of ZPM Mgmt llc, they’d menace and stalk by darting into and out of this building (about 5 Latino men), who the nypd 32nd precinct allowed to be there as it helped drive gentrification pressures, then later we discovered that some of those “repairmen” were actual nypd officers in plainclothes. Naturally the answer was to just not file police reports the uniformed officers thought and so that deaded that. Granted as I am queer and not Latino these would have been hate crimes if the officers didn’t protect the fraternity by tossing out the rule of law.
Advice to the owners
Perhaps don’t allow the NYPD to pose as your proxy workers to covertly harass and attack your tenancy here, however, doesn’t seem like anyone wants to live here feeling like it’s casually gang violence culture infested. Gentrification business model less than ideal.
