Slumlord
Pros
Location, small building, private
Cons
Very loud when in a street facing room, they put garbage for multiple buildings in the space in front of ours and every week would be a mountain of garbage, there was no regular exterminator- I asked the landlord when one would come and he said he would only call one if I had a problem, He would respond if anything was wrong with the apartment but never actually fix anything, he owns the entire block of buildings and is going to knock them all down as soon as he can force all the rent stabilized tenants out, he illegally kept part of my security deposit
Advice to the owners
Treat tenants like human beings
Middle ground landlord
Pros
The neighbors were nice and the building was fairly quiet. It’s an older building but everything worked okay.
Cons
You can hear people from the street like the windows are open even when they’re closed The heat is too high from the radiators The landlord will respond when you contact him but won’t actually fix anything He will keep your security deposit The building is going to be demolished and he didn’t tell anyone before moving in
