Great Area, Low Rent, Building is Falling Apart-LL Makes No Repairs
Pros
It’s a rent stabilized apartment building in Carroll Gardens. Neighbors are very nice.
Cons
The building management never fixes anything. Door bells don’t work, front door is dodgy and often doesn’t close, hot water is a battle-I’ve never made it through a full shower without major temperature swings, history of gas leaks, walls and ceilings often leak in heavy rain and even crumble, fuses blow constantly, windows aren’t sealed so it’s freezing during the winter, and repair requests just go completely unanswered by landlord. “Super” lives in building but doesn’t fix anything, yells at people over random stuff, blames all the issues on the landlord and goes through everyone’s trash.
Advice to the owners
Fix the place up before something serious happens.
Great location, questionable building
Pros
Location is great Safe location Lower rent price than average
Cons
Overheated in the winter slow to respond to repairs Building slanted Roaches in hallways Plumbing is old. Often clogs or leaks Landlord office is rude Some of neighbors are aggressive
Advice to the owners
Put roach traps in halls. Make sure the locks on front door are working as they are often open. Get to repairs in a timely manner. Allow tenants to control heat level.
