Convenient but chaotic
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to transit, near restaurants and shops, no pests or heat problems.
Cons:
Front door was not secure causing house less people/friends of tenants spending nights in the stairwell, hallways not cleaned enough, ambiguous management.
Advice to owner:
Secure the front door locking system.

Avoid management at all costs - homeless people living in the apt
Former Tenant
Pros:
There is nothing good about living in this apartment apart from it being rent controlled.
Cons:
Living here has been a nightmare. You cannot get in contact with the landlord after multiple attempts at emailing and phone calls. There are homeless people who sleep on the stairwells every night and repairs take months to get fixed after constant phone calls to the super. There’s also random charges to our rental payment we and we can’t get in touch with our landlord to identify the charges.
Advice to owner:
You need to answer your emails and calls as your apartment is an unsafe place to be living in.

The tenants deserve better
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighbors are happy people with different backgrounds.
Cons:
The landlord company is new to the building and do not care about managing the building.
Advice to owner:
If you won’t care for the building, you should consider selling it to someone who is FROM the neighborhood and WILL treat the building and it’s tenants with respect.

Could be great
Former Tenant
Pros:
If you’re lucky to find a still rent stabilized unit in the building, those are gems. The apartments can have wacky layouts but they’re unique for sure and there are tons of windows and high ceilings. Super lives in the building and the landlord’s office is just two blocks away.
Cons:
The heat is building operated so it can get really hot in the winter (better than no heat but uncomfortably warm) and there are occasional roaches. The building offers extermination but if the neighbors don’t opt in then it doesn’t always alleviate the problem. No access to courtyard and no composting available. Walk up only.
Advice to owner:
Make the courtyard a public space accessible to the tenants and find easier ways to communicate with landlord other than email.

The rent doesn’t match the maintenance of this building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nothing! It’s old and unsafe
Cons:
It’s loud, dirty, they sell drugs in the building, it’s absolutely atrocious
Advice to owner:
Stop hiring crackheads to maintain the building.

Responsive landlord but roaches
Former Tenant
Pros:
The landlord was extremely responsive. They have roach folks come once a month if you end up having an issue.
Cons:
Roaches when we first moved in. Definitely were one bedrooms converted into two bedrooms. There is a gentleman who is on section 8 with amputated legs who lives on the third floor and landlord refuses to move him downstairs.
Advice to owner:
Move the gentleman with amputated legs down to first floor for his safety.
