Crown heights just ok
Pros
For a first floor and two years in the building I never saw a roach

I DID have a mouse and often felt a bit unsafe with the housing next door
Advice to the owners
Be a bit more responsive when tenants have rodent issues
Struggles at 500 St. John’s
Pros
Big old school interiors Old steam heat The porter is lovely
Cons
Landlords are horrible people. Only fix things under duress. Office is completely rude. Super never responds to calls and does bare minimum. We have had rodents and bedbugs. There were absolutely no Communications to Tenants during COVID. Not a single note. Including when the super Covid. The courtyard is Left to The tenants to Maintain. The porter is overburdened. The hallways haven’t been painted or Cleaned in years.
Advice to the owners
Stop being so rude. Give tenants a contact if something happens on a weekend or a religious holiday. Properly recycle. Tend to Lead abatement without threatening tenants. Modulate tenants who are irresponsible or violate noise and waste rules. Stop being so rude. Clean the building. Fix the locks on front gates.
