Building management could do better
Pros
The apartment itself is perfect for one person, new appliances and cabinets, and a kind and responsive super.
Cons
The buzzer has been broken for several years. Management will not pay for a new boiler and keeps repairing it - the heat is often not on or very low during the day in the winter months. Some neighbors are respectful, but some have loud barking dogs that have urinated in the hallway more than once.
Advice to the owners
Not much - my guess is they have made a calculation of service level they will provide based on how many units are rent-stabilized and what the cost-benefit ratio is to them.
Not my best experience. 2019-2020
Pros
My particular unit was newly renovated, appliances were above standard (fridge, stove, microwave). Quiet neighborhood Easy to find parking Close to industry city shops The super is friendly, helpful and always there for you.
Cons
Roaches in my first floor unit. Really annoying. Thin walls. I could hear the people talking in the unit next to me and below me. Heat doesn't turn on until like 40F. Neighbors in the next building are loud, will blast music on weekends past midnight. Check payment only, no cash apps or wires accepted.
Advice to the owners
Other forms of rent payment would be helpful.
