Is any large apartment perfect?
Former Tenant
Pros:
Many wonderful humans live here who have been here a long time. They care and know and love each other which is what you hope for in a building like this! Super is involved and kind. Large apartments. Some fun character in many of them. Generally quiet apartment building.
Cons:
Pretty dirty, roaches, not great trash solutions, landlord is cheap and doesn’t want to pay for anything to improve building, also not professional in his communication skills with his tenants. Some tenants can be a bit unruly/get into trouble but you will find that anywhere.
Advice to owner:
Repair and clean the building in effective ways. It’s slowly losing value by the neglect. Listen to the tenants that live here and want to make it a better place.

Cons:
• PESTS - mice, roaches, flies
• Dirty - the stairways are never cleaned, the elevator always stinks, the lobby is only “cleaned” when Jacob (one of management) is visiting
• Temperature - winter months are terrible because of low heat
• Repairs - they seem to source the cheapest labor which results in mediocre work
