1 Year in and all is well!
Pros
It’s newer and there’s an elevator! Haven’t really had any pest issues besides the regular flies that come in during the summer (we live on the floor with a door to the patio). Landlord is pretty flexible with negotiating the rent increase, but that might be because my roommates have lived here for 5 years so we have that bargaining power. It’s in a great area, right off the L and not far from the G. 2 great grocery stores, one a block away and another about a 5 minute walk.
Cons
The apartment is small. No getting around it. The rent feels high for the small rooms, but it could just be NYC market. The neighbors can be loud sometimes, especially when there’s parties on the rooftop at our building or the one next door. Sometimes the trash gets piled up pretty high. Not really much else as a Con.
Advice to the owners
Nothing really, I like living here. Wish the rent was a little more affordable.
Has a few problems
Pros
-Only 3 units, respectful neighbors but I got lucky since they’re short term rentals -Good location -Big windows in some rooms
Cons
-Laundry very unreliable -Some mold in the bathrooms -Dishwasher broken -Not a lot of maintainence in general
Advice to the owners
Needs a deep clean behind the appliances and more reliable laundry/appliances
