Cozy and decent if you put the work in
Pros
The location and neighborhood are great, we love all the local businesses. Apartments are pretty generously sized for the area. Active tenants' coalition!
Cons
Management is difficult to reason with. Repairs are often short lived or half measures. The building needs major restorative work that the owner refuses to pay for. Some units are far less problematic than others. Staying on top of making maintenance requests plus 311 complaints tends to yield passable results, but it takes a lot of effort to stay on top of it all.
Advice to the owners
Sugar Hill Capital, stop being cheap soulless ghosts! If you want to make money off of withholding housing (a human right) you are legally an morally obligated to maintain it! Get it together, or just cut the losses and drop the building.
Adequate. Building management is responsive most of the time.
Pros
The unit is spacious. There were no mice on the 4th floor.
Cons
It took management a month to replace a 100 year old pipe in the bathroom. They did that within the first month of move in. With certain things, management is responsive, but will completely ignore the things it deems more minor.
