Could be nice if they tried
Pros
Proximity to everything the neighborhood has to offer. It’s a nice sized apartment and rent stabilized is a plus.
Cons
The landlord Laura is rude. She only responds to inquiries when she feels like it. The doorbell system is extremely antiquated. The heat is extremely weak and repairs are shitty and only intermittently fix the problem. Supposedly an exterminator is supposed to come the 1st of every month but they only knock on my door every few months. Whole staff is full of it.
Advice to the owners
What advice would I give her that she would take..
Cleanliness could be better
Pros
Fairly quiet neighborhood, and the building is in close proximity to the train station, the water, and some great restaurants
Cons
Cleaning of the building is often inconsistent; the garbage area is often a mess. Periodically, there are roach issues. In the winter the heating is inconsistent, and can turn on and off at obscure times during the day.
