In need of major work
Former Tenant
Pros:
Never felt unsafe. Heat and hot water included and generally working. Cheap rent and kept up well (usually, except some inconsiderate/lazy neighbors)
Cons:
Neighbors treat trash areas like a dump, especially on weekends. Buzzer issues constantly. Building is being renovated piece by piece and the super will only be able to give temporary, cheap fixes. Super also has a lot on his plate and might forget you if you don’t follow up.
Advice to owner:
Make major changes. Get to the root of the some of the repeated big issues (ie. wiring, plumbing).

Not a good situation
Former Tenant
Pros:
The unit I was in was spacious and had beautiful crown molding and a separate kitchen
Cons:
Building maintenance was awful, landlord used COVID as an excuse to not do exterminations and the neighbors left garbage in the hallways so roaches galore. The ceiling fell in and there were several toilet leaks from the unit above
