Tiny, old apartments in great location
Pros
Affordable at the time, amazing location, fairly quiet at back of the building, has ceiling fans
Cons
Old building so power would go out when I used more than one kitchen appliance at a time (oven and microwave). The trash area is shared with the business next door and another building. There's no real lobby area and the entrance was sometimes dirty with water. Very small rooms and no living area, so really only good for short term. No view from back units. No AC and windows have fire escape so you need bulky standing unit or it gets very hot. You're cut off from the neighborhood during NYC Marathon day. Small closets and limited storage.
Advice to the owners
Improve heating, electric, keep rent fair for size of space
Decent UES apartment
Pros
Clean, and responsive super. Good water pressure.
Cons
Loud, near the hospital so sirens go on all night. Radiator was very creaky.
Advice to the owners
Keep up with radiator maintenance.
