    Old building - large management co
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super is very responsive and normally can fix small things for quickly.
    Cons:
    We’ve had several big things break (ceiling leak, window shattered, etc) and the management company dragged their feet getting it fixed. Waited months.
    Advice to owner:
    Invest in your tenants. Agressive raising of rent drives good people out.
