Not Luxury, Just Fine
Pros
It's a nice, standard building. Has decent amenities. The current super (Orion) is truly the best part of this building. He is extremely friendly and helpful. Pretty decent area, close to the A/C which is super convenient. Grocery stores and other things nearby.
Cons
Not really a con for us, but could be for others: Fulton is an extremely loud street, which isn't the buildings fault. Just comes with living here. Lots of police driving by, loud cars, people talking outside. There's just action here. If you don't like that, then you won't like living here. The building has bug issues. Ants, roaches, you name it. If you know how to deal with them/get rid of them, you'll be good. It's just annoying. Pest control comes once a month, but it's just a spritz here and there. Packages have been stole before, multiple times. Management is barely responsive. I would not consider this a luxury building.
Advice to the owners
Respond to the tenants. Take care of them. They are paying good rent to live here, the least you can do is respond.
Unresponsive Management
Pros
Superintendent is great! Keeps the building well maintained and clean everyday. Also very responsive.
Cons
Lack of a doorman leads to plenty of stolen packages and sometime loiterers. Police are stationed on the block every night because of high crime on the block itself. Pest control must be spraying sugar water because I’ve seen three-inch water bugs aka roaches in my unit. Management is completely unresponsive.
Advice to the owners
Hire a management company that has good communication skills. People just want to feel heard and be respected. Put cameras in the staircase. Stop raising rents if you’re not offer any updates on amenities.
