Old building, unit nice, bad management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location Our unit is renovated so nice amenities like washer/dryer/dishwasher but the management does not maintain them
Cons:
Washer/dryer are not serviced Dirty stairwell TONs of pigeons & rats outside Like… a lot of rats Horrible management (so bad the city sent our representative to check in on us to escalate issues) Dismissive super Cockroaches & mice sometimes even though we are clean
Advice to owner:
Horrible management, cannot reach you. Super can’t help us because you do not provide funds or resources & are unresponsive. City council is involved since you are so horrible.

Convenient Location - that’s about it
Former Tenant
Pros:
I have an updated unit, so I don’t have any complaints about my apartment: - Good water pressure - Can be Hell hot in the winter - Super up until now has been pretty good and keeps people who don’t live in the building and cause trouble out. - Fios or Spectrum internet option
Cons:
- Getting a new super that is wildly underpaid, so I don’t expect the cleanliness to be upheld. - The heat/hot water goes out a few times every winter. - Occasional pest sighting - MGMT is quite literally impossible to grt in contact with - they are in the top 10 worst landlords in the city list (literally) - Neighboring building has a bunch of drug addicts with a friend in this one and can make a lot of noise. - Packages get stolen somewhat regularly
Advice to owner:
Answer your phone and keep your buildings clean.

The roof is gonna cave in
Former Tenant
Pros:
inexpensive, rent stabilized, gut reno'd, good location
Cons:
The super deals heroin. There are broken crack pipes in the stairwell. You can smell cigarette smoke coming in from other units, and everytime it rains there is a huge pool of water on the roof that never seems to fully go away.
Advice to owner:
fix the place up instead of slap/dash fixes

Everything, building is 60 years old, absent landlord, takes forever for things to be fixed and they break a lot

Just awful and spend money

Not the worst
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large apartments, excellent water pressure, built 1916 or earlier & was once a beautiful building, wide staircase, great convenient location close to multiple train lines.
Cons:
Shoddy poorly done quick fix repairs done by unskilled workers, grimy rarely cleaned hallways/stairs unswept for weeks, massive long-term heroin dealer/user issues outside & inside building, abandoned building w/ homeless encampment nextdoor, constant clogged drain on roof creates lake of rain water, super never wore mask through entire pandemic including while inside tenants apartments
Advice to owner:
At the very least make someone sweep/clean hallways & stairs on regular basis.
