    Great building - fantastic Super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building is well-managed (monthly spraying for pest control, monthly cleaning/mopping of common areas), no issues with mold. Any issues that I've reported have been quickly handled - in huge part due to the Super who lives in the building. He is extremely hard-working and kind, goes out of his way to help people. Area is safe and convenient. High ceilings, natural light. Other tenants are very respectful.
    Cons:
    Nothing that the owners can control. The only downsides are the amount of sirens as it's on a busy road, and the building can get warm because it's an older building.

    Landlord will pull the rug from under you
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice super, great garbage system, spacious apartment, great light.
    Cons:
    Paid 5k realtor fee to move in, was told landlord “almost never raises rent”, following year- building manager calls two weeks before lease renewal informing of 1k monthly rent increase, calling it generous as they really want 1.5k more (despite no improvements to raise value of this old unit). Noisy street traffic, relentless honking/banging street sounds in morning, far laundry.
    Advice to owner:
    Maybe treat your tenants like humans, offering some notice of a massive/ unreasonable rent increase. We pleaded for a $300 increase, were respectful of the building, never caused issues and paid rent on time. Maybe not adding insult to injury by calling yourself generous for the abrupt 1k increase is a start.
