Pretty good building, but don’t know if I’d renew!
Pros
Clean building with relatively responsive management.
Cons
Homeless people are often on the stoop and packages are always getting stolen. Lots of little bugs pop up from time to time.
Advice to the owners
A better way to deal with package delivery and offering a camera/virtual doorman.
Scaffolding up with no sign of construction
Pros
Pretty clean within the building, garbage management is good. Regular maintenance work down on inside of building.
Cons
There are roaches and mice, packages have been getting stolen. They put up scaffolding about a year ago an its still up, covering the whole building. The has been zero construction done, I'm guessing this is just to bypass the law of making sure the facade of the building is safe. Landlord probably trying to save money by using scaffolding instead of fixing the issues. This causes lack of sunlight coming into the building and bars forming nest on the scaffolding and bird shit all over.
Advice to the owners
Stop being cheap. Fix the main issues in this building. Not the small ones where it makes you look like you're doing something when you're actually not
