Older Walkup in the Heights
Pros
Cheap rent, close to 1 Train. Good food in area.
Cons
No Elevator, Poorly maintained Building, Plumbing Consistently breaking down, Building has had packages stolen along with poor camera coverage. Super does not is clean or santize building and is late to respond to repairs. The building is across from a Warehouse so theres always issue with parking and trucks.
Advice to the owners
Building needs a new super and better care of the lobby so it can have cleaner safer appearance.
Decent Building Could Be Better
Pros
The new super is friendly and nice. They will repaint your apartment every 5 years, following the law…however the workers are not careful and do shoddy work (dripping paint on furniture, not covering furniture,, etc)
Cons
Brown, rust colored water flows out of the hot water tap. It leaves behind rust granules. There is no on-site laundry facilities. Although garbage management has gotten much better with the new super, the garbage still tends to pile up which, in turn, attracts bugs. The communal spaces are not swept or mopped very often, so the floors are pretty dirty. The cleaning frequency has significantly dropped off. It would be great if the building adopted composting, however, the building clearly doesn’t want to embrace it.
Advice to the owners
Put more care into the building and apartment maintenance and upkeep
