174 Delancey-live with rats!
Pros
LES location (can be loud), proximity to train
Cons
The courtyard trash area has had a horrendous rat problem for at least the last year. Management does nothing to address the issue, despite multiple visits from the Dept. of Health and violations issued to the buildings (there is a front and rear). They have left dead mice/rats sitting in the courtyard for over 24 hours more than once. The rats and mice are definitely inside the buildings--I hear them moving in the ceiling and in the walls. The trash is poorly managed, there is not enough trash cans for the number of apartments and the buildings are generally not cleaned. As of 10/09, lights in the stairwell in the back building have been out for close to 2 weeks. Management only sent one inaccurate email about this issue. The building is pitch black at night, which is extremely dangerous. Other issues: -As another reviewer mentioned, electricity costs are ridiculously high for how small the apartments are (especially in the winter) -There have been leak issues in the apartment below mine -Intercoms don't really work -I have put up with these cons (and others) so far because the price per location is good, but would not recommend moving in.
Advice to the owners
