Great Spot, Some Bugs & Mice, Nice Super
Pros
The building has a great super who is generally proactive. The space in the apartment is really big for the price, and it’s enough to have two offices in the living room. It’s also pet friendly, so we see many pets around. It gets good sunlight as well.
Cons
We have had a problem with some mice in our apartment, which was taken care of in about a month, but that was not great. There are roaches that pop up every once in a while.
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.
