Decently well kept building
Pros
Friendly neighbors, not a lot of turnover
Cons
Persistent smell of sewage on the first floor of the building, frequent issues with hot water, loud neighbors
Advice to the owners
Fix the horrific smell that has been plaguing residents for over a year
Terrible building
Pros
Heat works ok. Hot water is consistent until it isn't. Somewhar responsive to fixing leaks but if a leak starts on a Friday might take days to fix.
Cons
Landlord and mgmt company refuse to do anything regarding the noise. All night parties on steps of building almost every night. Drunks yelling and screaming and setting off firecrackers in the middle of the night. They urinate in ront of the building and are out there until early the next day. Building is an eyesore, broken glass and food containers left behind for other people to clean up. landlord/management has been aware of this situation for years and do nothing.
Advice to the owners
Deal with this. You are responsible for this situation and it should not fall upon the other tenants and neighbors to have to call the police (which does no good whatsoever)
