Landlord not great
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large apartment, great area, kind neighbors.
Cons:
Buzzer only works for one side of the building and he refuses to fix it. Roaches everywhere in the entry way. Entry way is never cleaned. Told over a year ago the entryway & stairs would be repaired and they have not been. They are not safe for the elderly in the building. Bedbugs have been spotted and ignored. Took him 10+ days to even respond and around 20 for him to send an exterminator. Had to hire our own exterminator, but we’re told it’s a building issue and he has yet to address it still. Had to file official paperwork to get my security deposit back! He’s a slumlord!
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive and take better care of your properties. Tenants should not have to live in filth.

As a distant father would, he doesn’t respond unless it’s an emergency
Advice to owner:
Perhaps open up to responses

Great rent for humans and cockroaches
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location is perfect if you need to commute to Manhattan, right next to subway lines.
Cons:
Cockroaches cockroaches cockroaches galore no matter how much cleaning one does. Roof leaks like crazy. Bathtub vomits shit water and actual shit every day.
Advice to owner:
Fix your damn building up before renting it again.

If you want the living under an NYC slumlord experience look no further
Former Tenant
Pros:
Somewhat affordable for the neighborhood
Cons:
Everything else. Every maintenance problem and bug infestation problem you can imagine with the most unresponsive landlord you can imagine. If you want a nonstop nightmare of cockroaches and bedbugs everywhere, broken buzzers, leaking ceilings, chipping paint, bathtub flooding with dirty water from the drain, broken fridge, heat doesn’t work, etc this is the place for you.
Advice to owner:
Nothing to say really. You know exactly the kind of place you’re running here and you don’t care.
