The stuff you see in movies and on TV
Pros
Close to subway
Cons
Building managers are RUDE on the phone. They apply false late charges. Lie about apartments rent-stabilization status. The building is 100 years old this year and falling apart. Cracks all over. Super is slow to fix anything and when he does it is done terribly. Buzzer has broken several times and each time it takes longer to get fixed. The roof leaks every time it rains. Rats & roaches have been a consistent problem. Drug dealers hang out in front of the building. The block is noisy year-round. Owned & operated by classic NYC slumlords. Avoid at all costs.
Advice to the owners
Sell. Get out of the business. This isn’t for you.
Good landlord in the Bronx
Pros
This is a small building with a responsive landlord and a superintendent who cares about the place.
Cons
My apartment is in one of the corners of the building and it gets chilly sometimes. Some neighbors do not let the exterminator in their apartments.
