Paper thin walls
Pros
Rent stabilized, great super, right by the park.
Cons
The walls and ceiling here are truly paper thin. You can hear every footstep above you, and if you have loud neighbors you can literally hear every word they say. A lot of people have been here for a long time and feel like they own the place and can be really disruptive/think nothing of loud noise throughout the night
Standard MIA Landlords
Pros
Great unit sizes/layouts and location.
Cons
Cheapest of all appliances and furnishings. Building management is slow moving on repairs or otherwise completely ignore requests. Super does shoddy work on repairs (using mismatching tiles when broken, using caulk or grout that isn’t sealed) and with no urgency. Recently windows were replaced without warning with ones that block sunlight and views.
Advice to the owners
Invest more in your property and tenants. Visit the building from time to time to see how your choices are effecting tenants lives
