Unresponsive Management, Issues Stacking Up
Pros
Affordable, kind neighbors in building, nice location
Cons
- Frequent loss of heat/hot water without communication - Unresponsive management - Regular issues with roaches - Poor trash management system (they use the elevator to bring trash down from each floor to the basement so the elevator always smells like trash) - No cell service in apt - Very few outlets (1-2/room)
Advice to the owners
Stop letting things pile up and fix things properly! You can only put so many bandaid fixes on a messed up system. And if you ARE going to have so many building-wide issues, don't go days without communicating anything to your tenants!
Bad Management, leaks
Pros
Price, location, size of rooms.
Cons
Pests, water leaks, no heat, package theft, loud neighbors, one guy whose mom lived in the building would yell homophobic slurs and spit in the lobby .
Advice to the owners
Fix underlying issues instead of just papering them over.
