Fine building, no major issues
Pros
Mostly very quiet, reasonably clean, no issues with bugs or pests
Cons
Slightly unresponsive landlord, trash cans in rear outside are gross
Nightmare fuel, seriously stop giving this guy money
Pros
Some units are nicely renovated.
Cons
The landlord is terrible—completely unresponsive and doesn’t care at all about the building or the tenants’ safety and well-being. There have been constant issues like pests, ceiling leaks, the front door not locking, garbage piling up, and a gross stairwell. I’m pretty sure someone with a key to the building is stealing packages because they disappear within an hour of being delivered. The landlord knows about all of this and still refuses to fix the front door lock, install basic security, or even give out the super’s contact info for repairs. Rent has to be paid by check, and sometimes he claims he never got it, which means tenants have to pay to cancel the check and mail another one. On top of that, the building is right on 1st Ave, the windows are super thin, so all the noise comes through—and even water when it rains.
Advice to the owners
Do better.
