Landlord is ….. insert whatever word you want. Avoid Hezi torati at all costs

Pros

neighbors are lovely well maintained thanks ONLY to the super

Cons

he violated the lease (didn’t take care of oven for 4 months) didn’t clean before moving in didn’t make repairs before moving in doesn’t know tenant laws and rights (just look up all the litigations he’s lost) no communication unless it’s a legal document after a year of trying to find a resolution and only given AFTER the window has passed harassed my mom after i made an HPD report (illegal) will try to discriminate based on age, sex, anything he can

Advice to the owners

if you had a shred of human decency and thought for more than one second maybe you wouldn’t have so many tenants that hate you and refuse to deal with you

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Simply Not Worth It

Pros

Nice furnishings Close to subway Not worth the cons

Cons

No insulation, which lead to no heat retention in unit and you could hear neighbors conversations regularly especially when you are quiet Hot water for 30min max Washer/dryer shakes the whole unit and is a piece of crap Poor appliances overall honestly Things would break and you have to keep reminding management and they might get to it Anything above light rain lead to flooding and leaks Building is under foreclosure (2022)

Advice to the owners

Actually do the work to renovate the building, don’t to things quick and cheap and then expect no issues.
