    The super was no good
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good stairs you feel like you want slip on.
    Cons:
    The super was incredible difficult to pin down and would literally walk out of the apartment pretending to get tools and never come back. Rent stabilized apartments got worse treatment than newer market rate ones.
    Advice to owner:
    Give equal treatment to ALL apartment units.
