Do not rent apts that are facing inside the s.end ( not fronting the water,5 fl.
Pros
doormens and workers are friendly, view from the rooftop is nice, w/d in unit in one particular apt. on 5th floor.
Cons
only 1elevator, still working 50/50, 2nd elevator is in repairs for 3 months ( nov, dec 2023, jan 2024 still going); 5fl, (particular apt.53x starting with) pls make sure do not rent it, everything is falling off and needs repair desperately! kitchen basin - needs to get repaired 10 years ago ( looks awful), bathroom sink - holds water for over 20 min. do not go through; Windows washed 20 years ago, bug net torn off in the bedroom; the keys to enter apartment - was given when we rented only 1 key ( old fashioned can not be duplicated by any key maker - they dont hold the template anymore as it is outdated... maybe 20 years ago) - two persons in the pat. 2nd key had to ask from the doorman ( extra key). living over 6 months here - noone ( owner) offered us the 3nd key duplicate yet; owner is annoyingbothering us every month begging us to allow the buyers to see the apt at 1PM working day - we did not agree on that neither we knew they are going to sell apt while we still on valid lease.. please note, you will hear loud latin music every weekends/ or weekday at around 12.40 to 1.30 am for about 10-15 minutes. you will also hear as a clock at 11.3pm garbage track coming in the area under your windows, other people noisy conversations in the street as its like corner gathering street ( its at the very end of BPC and all the people who come here to gather and smoke you know what ....( you can smell when you start a jogging here from south end). this bldg is NOT your best choice at BPC, in general.
Advice to the owners
repair the elevators in less than 1 month , not more over 3 months. make the elevator to actually stop at 5th floor instead of stopping at 4th first (happens like many times), repari the button on elevator when to push hat floor - it does not light up.
