    beautiful building, awful management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Priced decently for the amount of space, bedrooms get good sunlight, laundry in building, dishwasher in unit, great location right above the subway, beautiful neighborhood
    Cons:
    roaches, leaks, management does not respond to tenant issues in a timely manner, mold?, water damaged walls (big time)
    Advice to owner:
    Invest in contractors who will get the job done instead of having super fix all the problems. The super cannot solve major building issues.

    2014- 2017 Review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Excellent location! Charming lobby space.
    Cons:
    We had issues with water leaking to downstairs neighbors on the ground floor that required access to our apartment to fix, but it was an ongoing issue. This was 2017 though so it may have been resolved.

    Worst Landlord Ever
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Beautiful old building with some original features.
    Cons:
    The landlord, Neera Raj, is not an honorable person. Letting conditions of building deteriorate.
    Elderly and disabled residents homebound for multiple months while management dragged their feet on necessary fixes to the elevator—which they only got started on after being fined by DOB. Lies about sending workers, pest control, etc. Lies about how market-rate units were destablized. Lies lies lies.
    Advice to owner:
    Get back in touch with your humanity.

    Great building, bad landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building and apartment are very nice. In the perfect location, right next to the subway and an amazing neighborhood. Fairly affordable for the area.
    Cons:
    Landlord takes forever to respond to issues and usually when fixing things they do it the easy way instead of the right way.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive

    Beautiful building, slumlord management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building itself has great bones and could be really beautiful if well-maintained. Location relative to transit is unbeatable. Some original architectural elements are intact, like built-ins, bathroom storage compartments, and arched doorways - make it feel special. Neighborhood is delightful. Some apartments are roomy and have lots of windows.
    Cons:
    The management is atrocious. Greedy, cheap, dishonest, and uncaring. Many elderly and disabled tenants are homebound and even more isolated when elevator would go out or malfunction (which happened too often). Hot water, and even water, has been known to go out with little warning or provision of repair timeline. Pests are an issue. Repairs take a long time to happen, and are done on the cheap. Landlords will also withhold security deposits if you don't leave the apartment in more pristine condition than you found it (even if there is no water in the building during move-out, making cleaning impossible). It's such a waste of a good building.
    Advice to owner:
    Don't be a landlord if you're not prepared to take care of your building and your tenants. Get another job.

    un managed building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    location, bedroom size
    Cons:
    roaches, shoddy repairs, owners couldn’t care less about tenants
    Over 3 years ago
    Decent apartment living
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Elevator, laundry in basement, great location
    Cons:
    Everything is very old but apartments have great bones. In dire need of renovations. Rents are high.
    Advice to owner:
    For the amount of rent you charge you should take a look at the apartments themselves and do more than a fresh coat of paint between tenants.

    Not the best
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Distance to the train, one of the supers is super sweet!
    Cons:
    Landlord mean, black mold shower, heat doesn’t work, elevator broken constantly, you can ONLY pay with checks,
    Advice to owner:
    Be nicer to your renters

    Nice Building with Sketchy Owner
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -Great neighbors
    -Directly on top of subway
    -Live in super
    -Laundry in building
    Cons:
    -Illegally destabilized units
    -Illegal conversion from 2 bedroom into 3 bedroom with a wall splitting a window
    -Tenants association determined many repairs were done cheaply and repairs were still needed
    -Management will try to overcharge for many things
    -Landlords kept security of tenants for late rent payments that were not sent late
    Advice to owner:
    Do not try and squeeze money out of your tenants and stop being cheap about necessary repairs.
