Outdated technology : elevators, call box to buzz people in, no control of heat,
Pros
Mini metropolis with parks, supermarkets, laundry mats, access to several bus routes and a few highways to reach if you have a car, 6 train. Having the choice to rent or buy apartment. 30 min from city by train.
Cons
Outdated elevators where people get stuck in them and seniors have to walk down several flights of stairs to exit building which is a HUGE violation, no smoke detectors or sprinklers in the hallway in case of a fire, outdated call box when you buzz people into the building with irritable loud noise on the main floor, cracked and lopsided pavement to the building and around the building, outdated lobby. Outdated heating system where you sometimes freeze in the winter because we cannot control our own heat. My building only has 1 elevator where it’s problematic and on its last leg and gives out frequently where it could be out for days. Every building should have 2 elevators. Only buildings that have 2 elevators if there are 8 floors and beyond. Parkchester isn’t vetting people who have vouchers and on section 8 where you see people hanging out at night causing a ruckus. People should have jobs when applying for this condominium not people who sleep all day and up all nights of the hour. Parkchester is NOT housing it’s a condominium.
Advice to the owners
Upgrade to modern technology so tenants can live comfortably and to keep the value of this complex because the value is diminishing with the lack of upgrades.
