I loved it here
Pros
Big, rent-stabilized unit; elevator; laundry in the basement; WONDERFUL live-in super, who kept the halls, stairway and elevator clean; nice neighbors; dishwasher; quiet, tree-lined street; close to the subway; management responds quickly when you email them
Cons
Management seemed a little disorganized, but once you know exactly who to contact at the mgmt. company just reach out to them directly. Some people at Beach Lane Mgmt. are very nice and helpful, others very mean and unhelpful. Also, no screens on the windows - you have to supply your own. Overall though this was my favorite apartment I've had in the city.
Advice to the owners
As I said, I've had some very good experiences with people at Beach Lane Mgmt., and some very negative ones. Don't be condescending to your renters when we ask honest questions.
Great building, poor building management
Pros
Spacious inexpensive apartments, public hallways are kept clean, laundry in the basement.
Cons
Poor building security, 1 in 3 packages gets stolen. Building management is well aware of the issue and has not taken any actions in years I've lived here. Unprofessional super harassed my female roommate, when she was home alone.
Advice to the owners
Improve building security -- camera on each floor accessible to the local police precinct. Replace super.
