Landlord special on repairs
Former Tenant
Pros:
My unit is rent stabilized, public areas are bright/seem safe, never had a package stolen
Cons:
The super is nice enough and always available since he lives in the building, but any repairs are usually just slapping some plaster or paint over the problem (he's told me he has trouble getting reimbursed for things he fixes from the management company). The heat only works between 3 AM and 3PM (Freezing when you go to bed), cig smoke smell in entrance more often than not. The management company has no phone number and can only be contacted through a 200 character limited submission form

New management is a slum lord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Rent stabilized, bigger kitchen and living rooms, newer kitchens, packages are never stolen, bedrooms have closets, high ceilings throughout
Cons:
No AC and the building definitely needs work and updating that has not happened. Multiple units have roach infestations that go untreated and all of tenants.
New management took over as of Jan. 2022 and they are literally slum lords. They go by Denali but are actually chestnut holdings in the bronx. Known for being sued by tenants and buying rent stabilized buildings and leaving tenants in disarray. They will not fix ANYTHING in the unit. They are refusing to help a roach infestation and you cannot ever reach them by phone.
They run illegal practices.
Advice to owner:
Actually service your units and stop hiding behind a faceless website. It takes no effort to do your job from the beginning rather than wait for it to get worse.

Constant issues
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, spacious units, great natural light for south facing units, washing machine in unit. Love that the kitchen and living room are big!
Cons:
Constantly have to get in touch with landlord for water pressure and temperature issues, appliance issues, and pest control for stairwell (bugs). Windows don’t have screens or ability to install screens, super is unresponsive, packages have been stolen.
Advice to owner:
Maybe a more proactive super would help.
