You get what you pay for
Pros
Reasonably priced given NYC market, a walk from gramercy park, spacious studio with separate kitchen, few units in the building
Cons
My biggest issue was how thin the walls are. I could hear neighbors singing/doing ~activities~ in bed. The units are also very old/ cheaply renovated. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was mold throughout the walls/bathroom (that hasn’t been renovated in probably 50 years) A few mice/cockroaches from the small holes in the apartment/ cheap renovations but exterminator comes monthly. KMR management ultimately doesn’t care about you and will try to suck every last penny from you with the security deposit- and raise your rent every year.
Advice to the owners
Invest money to have decent renovations, maintain the hallways better, get better security for the front entryway to keep homeless people out/stop packages from getting stolen
Awesome super, building could use refurb
Pros
Polanco, the super, was always very responsive and polite. Would usually fix any issues same day and even within a couple hours.
Cons
We had a recurring mouse problem and honestly I think it's just the quality of renovations done on the building. They were quick to bring in pest control, they'd seal up holes and then we'd find new holes in places we'd never think to look (like the ceiling.) Laundry machines often out of service, management too cheap to just buy new ones Management needed to purchase
Advice to the owners
Buy new laundry machines, invest in mouseproofing in between tenants
