Advice to the owners
Stop landlording
A beautiful old building that is being destroyed by mis-management
Pros
Large pre-war apartment, prime location in a lovely neighborhood, affordable rent, washer, dryer and dishwasher in every unit.
Cons
Bedbugs, mice, roaches - all multi year infestations that management has done nothing to resolve. The boiler is 40 years old and works 50% of the time, so good luck getting hot water or heat on a consistent basis. Any complaints are met with the threat of a lawsuit from the landlord but good luck trying to get a hold of anyone to actually speak to them. The city is here every week fining them for some new illegal thing they've decided to do. They do not care at all about their tenants and will do anything they can to make the most money as possible with the least amount of effort. Enjoy nightly visits from vagrants who hang out in the lobby to steal packages and smoke crack because the front door has been broken for years!
