    Cheap but at a cost
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheaper rent, 2 blocks away from subway, fire department 1.5 block away, post office across the street
    Cons:
    Inconsistent heat during the winter, no hot water when needed the most, ceiling leaks, super is unresponsive and lazy (he only takes care of his own people), mail/package theft, faulty electrical wiring, landlord unresponsive, cockroach infestation
    Advice to owner:
    Hire a better super, fix the faulty electrical wiring, hire a real electrician

    Cheap but at cost
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building has a super who makes sure the actual building is clean. Unit had a recently renovated kitchen and all units have dishwashers I believe.
    Cons:
    Ground level apartments have rodent issues, neighbors are unresponsive to asking them to not stomp and or play against a wall. Getting the super to do anything is a nightmare
    Advice to owner:
    You’re tenants are what keep you making money especially those of us paying on time.
