Good building, terrible landlord.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great neighborhood, quiet, outdoor spaces, helpful super
Cons:
The landlord is a snake. He renovated the building so that each unit would produce its own electric heating. That means that's it's not the landlord, but rathe the TENENT, that foots the bill for electric heating. In the coldest months, you can expect to pay anywhere from $600 to $1000 for utilities. It's disgusting.
Advice to owner:
Stop being a snake.
