“Unit 3i Pros: Tons of space, huge 2 bedroom units. Thick walls; very quiet in-between units. Elevator Amazing location Cons: The family that owned the building for over 80 years sold it to a private equity company that gut-renovated all of the units and kicked out all of the existing tenants. Paid >$9k in a broker fee just to be told 2 months later that our lease wouldn't be renewed and we'd have to move. People who hang out at the bodega sit right on entrance step into the building. I've had to step over or around drunks guys, or one time someone actively shooting up. Advice to landlord: You screwed over all the tenants 🖕”

“Pros: Nice location, garden, laundry in building, elevator, super. Cons: Lacking a bike storage (and the empty basement is perfect for that), intercom doesn't work at all, walls are covered of tags, garden is a mess with broken furniture, mice all year long, washing machines outdated and not enough for the 3 buildings. Advice to landlord: If you want a good excuse for the rent increases, maybe at least change for a new intercom, remove the disguting tags, bring more washing machines and create a bike storage.”

“Pros: Convenient location Near the action if you like that sort of thing Super is responsive enough Big units, big kitchen Cons: 4th and A is a LOUD corner The units facing key foods are LOUD, constantly (garbage trucks, delivery trucks at 6 AM) There are can/glass collecting machines outside the south facing windows that are noisy Mice and cockroaches, the building’s pest control person is ineffective The basement where you do your laundry is dark and dingy This is a very old building and if you have upstairs neighbors, you can hear everything through the ceiling The bathtubs are old and hard to clean, impossible to take a bath Advice to landlord: Hire a better exterminator”

“Pros: my neighbors were nice Cons: this building has rats Advice to landlord: Fumigate your building like every other walk up in this neighborhood does. Your blatant negligence is showing in the form of the ongoing infestation within my apartment.”
