It’s rent stabilized, that covers a lot of sins
Pros
Elevators usually work, laundry facility is well maintained, the porters handling trash and basic maintenance are _phenomenal_. Tons of space, good location, and the price is right.
Cons
Kitchen is awful - appliances stink and it’s cramped. Bathroom is even worse. I had a ceiling leak that took weeks to fix and left a hole in my bathroom wall. I hung a painting with a command strip and it tore a chunk of the cheap paint job right off the wall with it and broke my frame. Roaches are a constant low level annoyance. Super is grouchy and largely unresponsive to anything that isn’t a straight up habitability hazard. Heat is inconsistent at best.
Advice to the owners
Improve the heat, Reno the kitchens and bathrooms.
Management DOES NOT CARE
Pros
Location is good.
Cons
Elevator needs repair, makes disrupting noise when stopping on EACH floor!
Advice to the owners
Fix your Elevator!
