Good building bad management
Pros
Units are great the tenants are awesome and the building common areas are usually very clean
Cons
building super does not answer the phone/ is not a huge help (takes multiple asks and times to do anything correctly), package management is poor you can almost expect packages to get stolen, the floors and ceilings and paper thin. Cockroaches have become a problem and the response is lacking. Landlord tries to raise every non stablized unit (not many) the absolute maximum he can every year, does not negotiate and is difficult to work with.
Advice to the owners
Instill better supers, work with your tenants and address the problems they raise
Good no thrills building but floors stop no sound
Pros
Super keeps building and sidewalk clean, nice people
Cons
The floors are so incredibly bad at preventing noise from above. When people come over, they say they’ve never heard anything like this Street noise is very loud, even in back facing apartments. It’s all concrete behind the building I think the honks echo through there, never had this issue in other UES apts
Advice to the owners
Enforce rugs as mentioned in lease
