Difficult Landlords To Work With
Pros
Nice building above a wine bar in a good location. High potential.
Cons
Landlord is extremely unresponsive to anything and everything. Difficult to work with on even the basics (rent, security deposit, pest control, cleanliness, work orders).
Renter beware: Tempestas are a joke
Pros
Neighbors and downstairs wine bar are easy-going, friendly, and the location is almost unbeatable.
Cons
Owners are two spoiled kids who won't lift a finger to answer the phone, repairs won't be made in a timely manner unless you threaten to call 311, and blame tenants when the one maintenance guy can't figure out how to do the job right. Heads-up: the owners' broker picks and chooses who he decides to assess a fee. Turn him down - there's far better buildings in the neighborhood.
Advice to the owners
Quit aspiring to be slumlords in the West Village
