Felt Like Home
Pros
Alex the super is very responsive and friends with everyone on the block. Almost feels like the same protection as a doorman or an added sense of security. I’ve also lived in the building for years and never had a mouse or roach. The hallways are always incredibly clean.
Cons
The walls are ridiculously thin. I can hear all my neighbors conversations and any noise in the shared wall in the bathroom. There is no privacy. They also raise the rent a considerable amount each year as they consider it a “luxury” building. Also, I’ve had several packages stolen from the area under the stairs.
Advice to the owners
Work with your tenants more.
Decent Enough Apartment
Pros
My apartment was very quiet. Faced the rear of the building. Nice view of trees with other buildings beyond them.
Cons
The stairwell would smell of garbage in the summer. And one neighbor across the hall was horrible with noise and smoking.
