average building for the area
Pros
quiet area, live in super
Cons
neighbors can be very noisy on the weekends, especially saturdays
Management won't do anything unless you threaten to sue
Pros
Elevator (that barely works) Laundry in basement (that ruins clothes and doesn't accept anything but quarters) Super in building (that only works special selected hours that he makes up) Train around the corner (surrounded by people doing drugs out in the open) Lobby used as a playground for unruly children (hope you enjoy the impending lawsuit)
Cons
See "pros". Apartments not worth the rent. You can hear your neighbors conversations because the walls are paper thin.
Advice to the owners
Have an epiphany. Honestly, having a doorman or security would fix 90% of the buildings issues. And you can afford it.
