Pros:
The super is AMAZING. He’s very responsive and if anything breaks he’ll come fix it for you within under 24 hours. Usually he’ll come right away. The building is rent stabilized. Most of the neighbors are pretty chill and respectful people.
Cons:
Bedbugs. The building has them. The landlords are good about providing extermination, but they won’t go after tenants who aren’t reporting them. There are also a lot of roaches in the summer time.
The rent is too high for the area and for how old the units are. I had a big rent hike after the new owners came in a few years ago. Get ready to be lured in by a preferential rate and then subsequently see a rent hike. You will never hear from the building owner; you’ll only deal with the property managment company and the super.
Advice to owner:
Don’t jack up the rent for tenants who have been there for years and who have never missed rent.
