Nice old building, needs a little TLC
Pros
Good location, charming building, quiet. Laissez-faire landlord and super (could be considered a pro or con).
Cons
Rats around building exterior and occasional cockroaches in interior (similar to many NYC apartments). Systemic plumbing issues. Landlord delays repairs or refuses to make repairs.
Advice to the owners
Invest in long-term building maintenance and timely repairs
