Great apartment, horrible building
Pros
The building has a great location and parking in the area. Close to everything while far enough from the commotion of 3rd avenue, very close to the park on shore road as well. The apartment is a great size and has plenty of closets.
Cons
Elevator NEVER works, living on the 5th floor this is horrible. Basement looks like a horror movie, dead roaches, bugs and other creatures. Laundry is absolutely disgusting, there is mold in the washing machines that is never cleaned from all the people using soap etc. One washer and dryer are usually out
Advice to the owners
DO BETTER. There are older people in the building who can not go up and down the steps. The sanitary conditions alone should be fixed.
Bayridge coop building
Pros
nice neighborhood, a lot of trees, parks, clean streets and beautiful architecture. The apartment is affordable and has little nooks that bring out its features
Cons
NOT CLEAN, roach infestation, windows are not secure, building maintenance is a hot mess, has not been painted, floors are dirty and you’ll occasionally find a dead roach on the steps.
Advice to the owners
renew the apartments, have new appliances, fix the floors, listen to your tenants and don’t gaslight them
