Some apartments cheap but poorly taken care of building
Pros
Rent is cheap since apartments are rent stabilized. Neighbors are friendly.
Cons
Packages frequently stolen. Hallways are dirty, some neighbors treat the building poorly by spitting inside or leaving garbage in the hallways. Elevator goes out a lot, sometimes for just a day or two, sometimes a week, and once for 5 months straight. When leaks happen, maintenance guys do bad job don’t properly replaster sand and paint. Apartments lack outlets, bedroom only has 2 outlets. Moldings aren’t doorways are crooked. Windows do not lock.
Decent with some downsides
Pros
Garbage cleanliness is strong. Garbage is routinely removed and the area is maintained clean. Has a washer/dryer available in the basement.
Cons
A lot of pests. Elevator is being repaired really often. Apartments are pretty old with a lot of neighbors moving out.
