Be aware of management
Pros
Building is nice and common areas are clean. Neighbors are nice.
Cons
Management doesn’t respond quickly if at all. They advertised laundry facilities in the basement but machines were never connected.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive
Possibly Criminal AVOID
Pros
The buildings have great square footage for the value.
Cons
AVOID. The companies that own places like this profit off of mismanagement of their properties to the tenant's disadvantage. They do not care if asbestos from construction gets into your unit. They do not care if water is leaking from their old pipes. They do not care if the washer/dryer they advertised to you doesn't work. They do not care and they will deflect answering or helping any concerns you might have. They do not care if your packages and mail are being consistently stolen by the same people in the same ways. You might think you've met the worst landlords in NYC, but you will be shocked how terrible the management is here.
Advice to the owners
Sell the units to the tenants
