    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.

    Good tenants but terrible service
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Decent neighbors. No other pros
    Cons:
    No weekend service. Stairs to garbage has
    large holes. Roof leaks with rain. No real repairs or repair men just horrible patchwork
    Homeless sleep in lobby.
    Advice to owner:
    None

    NOTHING GOOD
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There are no pros
    Cons:
    People smoke weed in the lobby. Others sleep in the lobby. It is RAT infested not mice. The super is nice but him and his team of jack legs are inadequate. They never fix anything they just patch. The roof always leaks
    Advice to owner:
    Get a real super and hire proper people to do repairs. Install cameras in the lobby. Get real pest control company. These are rats not mice.
