Quiet, Friendly Building with Unresponsive Owners
Pros
-Kind neighbors -Responsive Superintendent -Quiet
Cons
-Exterminator did not visit regularly, resulting in frequent cockroach issues -Unresponsive building owners - never receive responses to complaints -Electrical bill in common areas not paid (no heat or lights in common areas of the building)
Advice to the owners
I would recommend implementing basic building maintenance, including monthly visits from an exterminator and a process to pay the building's electrical bills in a timely manner so that tenants are not concerned that the heat and electricity will be shut off.
Beware of Slumlord
Pros
Location is good
Cons
This building has serious issues and the landlord does not address any of them with speed or care. The landlord has lied to renters upon move-in and hasn’t disclosed ongoing bedbug infestations. Beyond that, the rodent situation is incessant (roaches and mice) and poorly managed. The entire building needs to new pipes, as water leakages continue to happen damaging the ceilings and walls and affecting the electrical in the apartments.
