“Unit D54 Pros: The light was great, street generally quiet, very good neighbors. Toilet never broke Cons: Dry rot and leaks that were never fixed despite reporting. Tough to get a hold of management for repairs. Very old circuit breaker and not enough outlets.”

“Pros: Apartment is a nice size, doesn’t feel cramped. The neighborhood itself is very sweet and kind — a friendly atmosphere that always feels safe. Cons: Poor renovations — holes everywhere from cheaply done installations. Pests (there’s been a years long cockroach problem). The communal area near the building’s entrance/mailboxes, is either accompanied with a foul order and/or a queen-sized dead cockroach (that will never be cleaned; currently there are two.). Black mold in shower that’s clearly been grouted/painted over. Random water shutoffs WITHOUT any warnings. With COVID happening, no flexible rent relief has been offered nor have any new sanitation measures been implemented/mandated. Advice to landlord: Spend the necessary money needed on renovations rather than being cheap/cutting corners — our rent isn’t cheap so our living conditions and appliances shouldn’t be.”

“Pros: Neighborhood is nice, apartment is cute and decently spacious. Cons: Cockroaches, poor renovations, landlords already on the legal course for eviction mid-pandemic Advice to landlord: Invest more on thorough, true renovations before reletting apartments to new tenants. Cheap ikea cabinets and linoleum tiles don’t last long. Truly eradicate mold/pest issues and be transparent with brokers about history.”

“Pros: Very close to the 7 train. Decent amenities in unit but very basic. Decent neighbors. Cons: No washer/dryer. Super can be hard to reach and often need to follow-up multiple times in order to get them to come over. Slumlord owner illegally hiked rent for rent-stabilized units across their entire portfolio of ~100 buildings and is currently being sued in a class action lawsuit. Their modus operandi is to illegally hike rent by hundreds of dollars and eventually gentrify the neighborhoods with high rents. There was no heat for a few days this year during winter. Front door to the building doesn’t close properly. Owner clearly is a cheapskate and uses cheap materials to renovate the apartments. Advice to landlord: Don’t cheap out on renovation materials. Don’t illegally hike rents for the purposes of illegally inflating rent.”
