Nice neighbors, terrible management
Pros
Friendly neighbors, spacious apartment
Cons
Infestation issues, totally unresponsive management, oddly strict rules from the super, limited laundry and trash hours, laundry often out of order, forced to take trash out into rat-infested alley, patchwork fixes that cause recurring problems
Well kept Prewar
Pros
Building is well kept and clean. Despite the roaches/water bugs in the basement, I never saw a single roach in my first floor apartment.
Cons
No sunlight whatsoever. Building is U shaped, so most apartment face inwards, giving so sunlight except for some in the bedroom. I lived on the first floor and it was especially dark. We moved out because we couldn’t even own a plant without it dying from lack of sun. Also, the management will nickel and dime you for everything. We moved in a day early and they charged us a pro-rated amount for that single day, and they didn’t tell us until after we moved in.
Advice to the owners
Don’t nickel and dime your tenants for moving in a day early.
