Run unless you like to be neglected
Pros
The community is wonderful, but only because everyone is banding together against the landlord.
Cons
The landlord turned off the heat and hot water in the winter in a bid to push out the rent stabilized families who had lived there for years. There are roaches, this building is disgusting, and the landlord doesn't care about the tenants whatsoever.
Advice to the owners
Get off your a$$ and start being a real landlord.
Do not live in this building
Pros
Units are large
Cons
The landlord who owns this building is one of the worst in the city. He does not answer nor return phone calls, and does not acknowledge issues such as building safety, damage, etc. We did not receive a dime of our very large security deposit back after moving out (the apartment was in perfect condition with no issues) and are seeking legal counsel as he either lies about why he is not returning it or does not reply. During our time living there, there were rats in the stairwells, our ceiling fell through due to a leak that was not taken care of, we were robbed while we slept due to the front door of the building not locking properly (this was never fixed), and homeless individuals slept inside our building outside of our apartment door. The building is located above a pawn shop, and the street noise is unbearable as the windows don't seal properly. The owner of this building will rob you of thousands of dollars and does not care about the safety and cleanliness nor the tenants who live there. Stay away.
Advice to the owners
Return your tenants security deposits and sell the building to someone fit to manage it.
