Spacious and affordable but old
Pros
Respectful super and landlord, always available. Close to 3 train and eastern parkway for walking to Prospect park. Spacious with a nice view.
Cons
Roaches (above a pizza place), older building that could use a renovation to seal edges well (and thus keep out pests). No functioning buzzer.
Advice to the owners
Consider a renovation of units and common areas.
Great management, area & unit!
Pros
The best live-in Super ever - always keeps the hallway very clean & is very responsive when there are issues or you just need a hand. The owner is very competent & responsive with her office located a short walk away. The building is very close to the 3-train & some buses, highly bike-able area with the parkway & bike lanes surrounding the building. Very respectful group of neighbors within the building & lovely community on the block. Two nice grocery stores across the street & plenty of food options nearby. Great park a few short blocks over & prospect park is not far by any mode of transit. Units are very spacious (biggest living room & kitchen I have ever had in NYC) & rent is very reasonable.
Cons
It is an older building which has charm but leads to some pests on warmer days & occasionally the water pressure is bit low.
Advice to the owners
Perhaps renovate the staircase when possible as it is a bit unsound in some areas.
