Former Tenant
Pros:
At one point we had a leak in our ceiling, and the super showed up and took care of it fairly quickly.
Cons:
The management company refuses to put money into the building. The elevator is frequently broken, stranding older residents on the top floors for days — the max it was OOO was around 10 days, and it broke about a dozen times when I lived there. The super is nice but not always quick to get back to you. The management company is much worse — we had to contact them constantly to get a response about move out. The exterminator comes twice a month but doesn’t do much. We got roaches twice in two years and a mouse once. The building is poorly maintained enough that they’re sure to get in. Also, be sure to check if it’s a rent stabilized unit before you rent. They’re engaged in a lawsuit with a number of tenants for rent increases on stabilized units.
Advice to owner:
Fix the elevator, put some actual money into the building

Better be handy if you want a functioning apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, friendly tenants
Cons:
Requests for repairs to the super are often met with a chuckle, when asked to fix leaky faucets - (literally all 3 leak, kitchen, bathroom sink and tub) we are told to “just tighten them harder.” Roaches are a serious problem despite regular exterminator visits. Takes multiple calls to the management company to get responses on anything.
