Beautiful area but evil landlord
Pros
The area is beautiful and the building is as well. They just haven’t taken care of it in many years and it seems to be crumbling apart
Cons
Nearly everything - filthy hallways, cockroaches, bed bugs, rude management, building is falling apart
Advice to the owners
Stop taking advantage and being a slum lord
Dishonest swindler hiding in nice neighborhood
Pros
The neighborhood and the apartment were both very nice. Apt was newly renovated (more on that later).
Cons
Hearing rats through the wall in the trash area. Just a general prevalence of rats outside. Owner reported costs of 7 different units' improvements listed on building permit as being costs for just a single unit to DHCR to raise rent from $400 to $4000 and invented a tenant to explain why I was not afforded the legally required disclosure with my lease (the tenant who 'received' this disclosure was a personal friend of the owner, uncontactable, never moved in and had a lease that overlapped mine almost entirely.
Advice to the owners
Don't kick tenants out for filing rent overcharge claims....that's illegal, even if you're friends with the DHCR.
