Not bad but not great
Pros
Management has improved and is relatively responsive issues, rent stabilized, nice courtyard, subsidized laundry for residents, near lots of transportation, bright with good windows. Relatively updated unit.
Cons
Walk-up, no elevator. Walls are thin, and neighbors are on all sides, very noisy. Neighbors are not really friendly and there are people in the building who just don’t care and respect others, maintenance staff while responsive are not always the best. I dealt with a leaky bathroom ceiling for about a year and a half and the issue still isn’t resolved. Garbage situation needs improvement. Quite a few dog owners who don’t clean up after their pets so you’re dodging poo on the sidewalk on the regular.
Advice to the owners
Get better trained staff to manage issues and cleanliness
Lipstick on a Pig!
Pros
Landmark property Interior garden Strong tenant association Neighbors with a lot of historical knowledge
Cons
A LOT of heat/hot water complaints from all buildings NO on-site Super for over a year Rat infestation Unresponsive management High turnover of apartments due to “lipstick on a pig”
Advice to the owners
Provide heat/hot water ALL winter Show more concern for your tenants than for getting that government money
