Landlord is greedy
Pros
Apartment was decent.
Cons
Had some issues with mice and a sewer like smell coming from the laundry closet. And water bugs. Landlord looks for huge rent increases each year.
Advice to the owners
Value good tenants. Huge rent increases demonstrate your greed.
Boutique Brownstone, comfortable, but cheaply built
Pros
Clean, central heat/AC, spacious apartments, pretty responsive landlord
Cons
Very cheap renovation of large brownstone, paper-thin walls, lack of privacy both between neighbors and within apartment because of this. Very expensive, recent extreme rent gouging
Advice to the owners
Make an effort to retain good tenants
