These buildings are falling apart inside
Pros
Close to everything. Heat is very high in winter. Good hot water.
Cons
Buildings upkeep is poor. Water leaks, Rats run and squeal all day and night in-between floors and walls, also, roaches the size of mini airplanes very poor pest control. I don't think the cameras work and the fire escape is rotting away.
Advice to the owners
More attention to pest control, water leaks and damage, NYC HUD pays big money in subsidies to help upkeep the buildings which is minimal
