No heat/hot water two winters in a row
Pros
Very convenient location! Cute building, big windows, enough closet space and that's really saying something for Brooklyn. Nice neighbors and fairly quiet. Quiet enough to hear the Q train. Clean enough, and they have a monthly exterminator come in and spray. There are still roaches, however. Also mice.
Cons
Two years in a row the heat/hot water has gone out and they have not taken adequate measures to fix the boiler. Extremely cold inside, especially on the lower floors. They put in a "temporary" boiler that sat out front for six months after they got tired of being cited by the city. We called 311, we tried everything. Management was not responsive, offered no discount on our rent, did not take adequate action. It COULD be a really nice building except for this nonsense, which is so basic that it's ridiculous. What good is an apartment with no heat or hot water?
Advice to the owners
Get this figured out or your tenants will unionize.
