Nice & convenient
Pros
Family owned building - owners are attentive & fair- always a pleasure to speak to. They provide ample heat and hot water. Rent is appropriate for what the market predicates in this neighborhood.
Cons
There’s a handful on elderly neighbors who spread malicious rumors about other residents. The building needs to be spruced up and they’ve fallen behind on routine maintenance. The super is lackadaisical and cuts corners on his work. They’ve started to allow pets and newer tenants have large sized dogs.
Advice to the owners
Hire a property management firm & interview your potential tenants
Not a bad experience
Pros
Fairly well kept
Cons
Super and manager fairly unresponsive
