Pros:
Location is lovely, apartments are (c) openigloo spacious for NYC, pest control (c) openigloo shows up when you ask (c) openigloo them to, super has been (c) openigloo responsive and helpful, building manager (c) openigloo also helped quickly when our (c) openigloo internet spontaneously died and we (c) openigloo had to get a new (c) openigloo cable installed.
Cons:
The building faces 8th Ave, (c) openigloo so there is a lot (c) openigloo of street noise. The heaters (c) openigloo are always way too hot (c) openigloo in the winter, always have (c) openigloo to leave windows open. The (c) openigloo windows don't fully close either, (c) openigloo so it's poorly insulated in (c) openigloo winter. There are roaches, but (c) openigloo they had been pretty well (c) openigloo under control, it's getting questionable (c) openigloo lately. K&R manages the building (c) openigloo and are trying to increase (c) openigloo our rent by more than (c) openigloo $1,100 PER MONTH. Which, okay, (c) openigloo there's inflation. But. This is (c) openigloo truly insane. We know for (c) openigloo a fact that our neighbors (c) openigloo did not face these insane (c) openigloo rent hikes. A 43% increase (c) openigloo on monthly rent is an (c) openigloo eviction notice. Management refusing to (c) openigloo even schedule an in-person meeting (c) openigloo with us to discuss.
Advice to owner:
Charge reasonable rent and be willing to look people in the eye as you screw them over.
