Location & Price tops all
Pros
In a competitive park slope rental market, this building will do. The location is phenomenal and the stabilised rent sweetens the deal. Some apartments even have in-unit laundry (but majority do not.) The super is fine: they will come through for emergencies but literally nothing else. The apartments are large enough and filled with prewar charm.
Cons
- Pest control is non existent. They say they have a monthly exterminator come for each apartment but after a little digging, the pest control company they “hired” is completely fake. Doesn’t exist online and the number is unreachable. - no one cleans the building so the hallways and staircase are gross. I wish management would spend some $$ to tidy up the area, would make a huge difference. - Don’t even get me started on the trash area. Rats galore. - the super will string you along and find “solutions” to your concerns that are really just bandaids for the larger issue: the building needs a total facelift inside and out.
Advice to the owners
Do better!! Fix the pipes, the trash area, and bring in an exterminator!
Great Pre War building

Some pipe issues in the shower and sink. They clogged up but super is on top to fix issues. Older building no rooftop or amenities
