Garbage Buliding and Management
Pros
Neighborhood is good
Cons
Do you like to play $90,00 + a month for water without ever seeing a bill? I’f so, live here. You even get to pay yearly boiler insurance for a crap boiler in your own apartment that breaks down all the time leaving you without heat or hot water. You like mice. - we got them too!
Advice to the owners
Stop ripping off your tenants
Great location but major management issues
Pros
Location near trains and bodegas, windows in every room of most units, some really lovely tenants, allows pets, lots of outlets, no pest issues
Cons
Packages stolen often, some terribly rude tenants, dingy hallways and stairs, poor communication with tenants about work on the building (sometimes just an hour's notice if they need access to your apartment), often have heat and hot water trouble in the winter since each unit is responsible for their own boiler (made to pay a separate boiler maintenance contract on top of rent), water is not included (extra $80 a month on top of rent), out of date appliances, apartment was not cleaned before moving in
Advice to the owners
Please respond to your tenants when they have real concerns such as having no heat and hot water! Invest in long term solutions instead of cheap band-aid fixes (see cons list).
