Affordable + amenities
Pros
Laundry in the building, elevator, big apartments, and affordable. My specific owner of my apt was great.
Cons
Management is very slow to fix things or respond. The elevator was often broken but they are installing a new system now so no elevator for 8 weeks. Had a leak in our apt from the upstairs neighbors and they told us to talk to them to make them fix it. Had a bad pest issue for a while. Overall this place is very up and down and not consistent. Feels like you're in west-bubble f*ck nowhere. Subway often doesn't stop here over the weekend or after 9pm or during the afternoons. It's a co-op but every apt seems to be sublet out to anyone so it's really a mixed bag on your neighbors and their cleanliness.
Advice to the owners
Do better and take pride in your building. Really doesn't seem like they care who lives here and it makes everyone's living experience worse.
