Old building with old building problems
Pros
Having a relatively hands-off landlord allows for more freedom to renovate the apartment, make changes, and have it go unnoticed. The building is prewar and does have some charming elements. The neighborhood is lively and has excellent amenities close by.
Cons
Had to endure a long period of having mice because the baseboards and walls were eaten through. The building also doesn't provide heat, despite being rent-stabilized. There were several instances of the water being shut off without notice due to problems with pipes and water mains. Hot water runs out sometimes, too.
