Well maintained building
Pros
- Awesome super who is very helpful, friendly, and personable - Awesome trash maintenance - Conveniently located - Great neighbors (long time residents) - Elevator building (when working)
Cons
- Dealt with some roaches (never an infestation) - Had a mouse once - Someunits in the building were not as well maintained (leaks, cracks in the plaster, sink issues, etc.) - Dealt with some persistent mold due to poor bathroom ventilation - Elevator was often broken
Advice to the owners
Management is very hands off - never interfaced with landlord (slumlord type). Only interfaced with awesome supers. Not very attentive unless complaint is made if it is a big repair that is needed.
Totally Roach Infested
Pros
Location is good for trains and they allow pets. The super is live-in and he's very kind and works super hard.
Cons
Our apartment was a shoebox and worth it for the price at the time but we had roaches coming out of the walls like crazy and the property owners gaslit us even when pest control was telling us there was a known problem.
Advice to the owners
Mandate building-wide roach treatments.
