Worst management company
Pros
Great location, apartment itself was updated and got good light.
Cons
Management is at best unresponsive and at worst actively working against its tenants. Horrible cockroach problem. They create a hostile environment for rent stabilized apartments to get them to leave so they can gut the place and raise everyone else's rent to cover the cost. There was not 1 simple interaction with management no matter how small the interaction. Had to get legal involved at one point for them to address the heat problem.
Advice to the owners
Be better to your tenants, respond, and be flexible and adaptable to their needs.
Frozen pipes and no hot water, worst management experience
Pros
Clean shared areas and quiet neighbors in a good location.
Cons
Horrible response to emergent and ongoing issues. We had frozen pipes for 5 months in one of our bathrooms and intermittent hot water for 1 year. Cockroaches in the dishwasher and mice. Lots of new furnishings so the individual apartments look nice but the building is horribly maintained. We also had the bathroom above us flood into a bedroom and it causes damage from dirty water.
