Classic Pre-War Walk Up
Pros
Great location No major bug or rodent issue
Cons
- Stellar Management is AWFUL - Lots of apartments are filled with massive families (my neighboring apartment has 12 people living in it, 4 parents and 8 (!) children) It’s LOUD. - Absolutely no building or apartment maintenance - Super is absolutely hopeless - massive language barrier for English speakers, and also just really not able to resolve issues of any kind. - tons of heat and hot water issues. Apt was 55-60 degrees all winter.
Advice to the owners
Maintain your apartments better, don’t raise the rent to the legal max every year if you’re not doing anything to maintain the building.
