— 719 WEST 180 STREET · Manhattan“Pros: Close to the train and lots of shops, restaurants, etc. Friendly neighbors (for the most part) Cons: The landlord is shady. Will harass you if you complain. Get everything in writing with the landlord, even if he tries to call you when you send him a message, be sure to keep receipts. Also, the super, you have to call about 6 times before something will get fixed and he doesn’t keep his appointments. If he says he’ll be there at 2pm on Saturday, he’ll be there at 6pm on Friday. Advice to landlord: Don’t be so awful. Sell the property.”
