Cool neighborhood, crappy building
Pros
The location is great - near lots of coffee shops, restaurants and the L train is only 5 mins away. Several laundromats and grocery stores nearby.
Cons
This is an old building with several issues: 1. The doorbells don’t work properly. You can hear/talk to a person but you can’t buzz them in. 2. The mantrap isn’t very secure. It has been accidentally left open and one time the latch had been tampered with. 3. It’s POORLY insulated! You can hear your neighbors’ conversations, the thuds of people walking up the stairs, etc.
Advice to the owners
Make some more updates if you’re going to charge the rent that you do.
Pretty good experience
Pros
We usually got a hold of the super very quickly and they were responsive and fixed problems.
Cons
Radiators could get a bit noisy
