341 10th St, *NOT& 303* — My experience was overall good, not everyone's is
Pros
Almost soundproof walls between units Balconies I think for every unit Renovated apartments have nice real wood floors, tile kitchens, decent cabinets & appliances Heat works most of the time and is HOT Lots of closets in 1BR (entry, hallway, bedroom) Incredible views of Park Slope area Super is fairly responsive, maintenance staff are nice Fairly clean building with staff almost always present maintaining trash / recycling / cleaning In-building laundry with several washers and dryers Other tenants are very friendly, lots of longtime residents Didn't have any
Cons
Windows are old and drafty One of the two elevators is frequently out of service Ongoing problems with package thefts, sometimes from tenants in the building Heat gets VERY hot with no way to reduce it, apart from covering the vents somehow (I created fitted covers with an insulating foil material) Cooking smells, occasional smoking in a unit (which isn't allowed), sounds, etc. can waft between units through the vents Older residents, lower income residents, and/or rent controlled / stabilized tenants (not sure exact details) who likely live in un-renovated units tend to get ignored when repairs are needed Some ants, roaches, etc. but that's par for the course Stellar Management (owner) is in the process of trying to build another large apartment building or two immediately adjacent to 341 10th st, which will disrupt views, cause dust / noise / disrup
Advice to the owners
Treat your longterm residents with basic respect
