Typical LES Walkup
Pros
Location. Finishes in unit.
Cons
Typical NYC heating where it’s always either too hot or too cold and you have no control. Public spaces were not kept clean. Water took forever to get warm.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive.
New apartment with good management
Pros
The management is sresponsive and responsible. The building provides an online platform where you can pay rent, submit tickets for any issues, and receive response and announcement from the building, which saves a lot of calls and time which could be wasted on communication. The building is recently renovated, and the backyard is under construction to be transferred into a nice space for picnic and BIKE parking! My apartment is small and nice with a huge closet and brick walls. Perfect location and young neighborhood. Landry is 1 min walk distance.
Cons
The landlord increased rent by 20% post COVID. The side facing Ludlow street is loud. The noice is worse in the summer because it comes through the AC and the street is more crowded (lots of bars downstairs). Packages got stolen very often.
Advice to the owners
Install camera and warning in the hallway to prevent packages from being stolen.
