Not bad not great. Bronstein Properties is moneyhungry and run a slum
Pros
Neighborhood is nice, apartment is cute and decently spacious.
Cons
Cockroaches, poor renovations, landlords already on the legal course for eviction mid-pandemic
Advice to the owners
Invest more on thorough, true renovations before reletting apartments to new tenants. Cheap ikea cabinets and linoleum tiles don’t last long. Truly eradicate mold/pest issues and be transparent with brokers about history.
Could be better...a lot better...it needs to be better.
Pros
Apartment is a nice size, doesn’t feel cramped. The neighborhood itself is very sweet and kind — a friendly atmosphere that always feels safe.
Cons
Poor renovations — holes everywhere from cheaply done installations. Pests (there’s been a years long cockroach problem). The communal area near the building’s entrance/mailboxes, is either accompanied with a foul order and/or a queen-sized dead cockroach (that will never be cleaned; currently there are two.). Black mold in shower that’s clearly been grouted/painted over. Random water shutoffs WITHOUT any warnings. With COVID happening, no flexible rent relief has been offered nor have any new sanitation measures been implemented/mandated.
Advice to the owners
Spend the necessary money needed on renovations rather than being cheap/cutting corners — our rent isn’t cheap so our living conditions and appliances shouldn’t be.
