The owner, mgmt style, bldg elevators get stuck, rodents in basement, pricing way too high for all that plus low water pressure and heat and hot water weren't good. Luckily gone now and in a much nicer place with better landlord/manager who isn't so difficult to deal with.

Sell the bldg to a better person who cares about people and knows how to manage a building.

generally clean, elevators are reliable until they aren't (never get on the elevator without your cell phone, even to do the laundry in the basement because if the elevator gets stuck you could be totally screwed). the lobby is kept clean, packages are often delivered to your door and everyone who works here is agreeable to a degree. the landlord has been overheard saying he longs for the day the rent stabilized apartment dwellers have died. so that's fun.

super stingy with the heat and can't seem to get the water situation in hand. there is no month where there isn't a day without water at random times of day. the laundry room floor is often flooded which is super considering the machines are running and it's a setting for an electrocution some day. There has been non stop construction while the new owner rearranges various apartments. these aren't small jobs or simple updates. He's actually adding bathrooms which is next level updating and hard on the ears.
