1E madness forever

Pros

Great intercom I guess

Cons

My neighbors apartment attracts rats mice and cockroaches, and got the cops and fire department called on them once a week and the landlord does nothing about it

Rent regulated building with quirks

Pros

Rent regulated Friendly neighbors who have lived in the building/neighborhood for years. Lots of families. Big apartments, big windows, great natural light. Beautiful hardwood floors.

Cons

Unfortunately the lovely pre war detailing has been painted over to absolute hell. Very hot in the summer, especially on higher floors Slow response from landlord about ANY request, from BUGS to WATER TEMPERATURE. Water temp is majorly faulty in the Fall/Spring. Cold water out of hot faucet for days/weeks. On site super is around all the time but rarely responds to anything not immediately pressing. I've had to file 311 complaints to get them to do anything.

Advice to the owners

Get another person to handle maintenance calls. Also provide monthly exterminator visits.
