Great apartment, great location
Pros
I've lived here for 2+ years and genuinely have few complaints. The super is responsive (usually views issues within 1 day) and the landlord is somewhat accessible, though she lives in Miami and doesn't work Fri-Sun. We've seen maybe 4 very small roaches in the span of 2+ years, which is pretty good honestly. Never seen a rat indoors. Pest control comes regularly and all appliances work. Great location near the park
Cons
The super is quick, but his fixes aren't always that great. We had a shower fixed and the handle was installed backwards. Our in-unit washer also broke and they replaced it with another broken washer. Took over a month to get a working one installed.
Large Apartment for a Good Price
Pros
The space was huge for a 1 bedroom and location being a half a block away from the A/C/E trains made it great for commuting. Neighbors were friendly and met some friends in the building while I lived there. The supers were also super nice and helpful with things I needed or taking packages for you when you weren’t there.
Cons
The building is old and my apartment wasn’t renovated but some are so that sucked because the ones that are renovated are significantly nicer and have washer/dryer in unit. No utilities are included in the rental but for the price it’s fine. The area has become less safe since I left at the start of covid, but before it seemed to be becoming more gentrified.
Advice to the owners
Renovate all the apartments please! And don’t increase renewal rent prices during a pandemic if you want to keep tenants in the building.
