Incredibly rude and vindictive landlord

Advice to the owners
Stop being a mean and rude person. Don't say racist comments about your tenants.
NEVER RENT HERE - vindictive, righteous landlord w/ zero courtesy and empathy
Pros
Accessible location in a bylane
Cons
The old landlord is one of the worst people I've ever met. She is vindictive and will talk behind your back to the other tenants. She always has a frown on her face and will snoop around to check if you're looking out the window. She looks into the trash and recycling bins every morning and will take out improperly sorted trash and block the entrance for all tenants of the building. She will enter your apartment and comment on the way you organize things, how clean your kitchen is, saying things like, "That's not how I would keep this place. Don't come to me if there are roaches here." We had a dead roach on our floor in the first few days of our stay there, before we even had any food out. She also won't fix things, e.g. a heater that is one of the loudest I've ever experienced in NYC. She turns up the heat super high, so it continually kicks on and stays banging for hours on end. It'll start nice and early in the morning to wake you up. She told us it's a new boiler and there was nothing she could do. It's basically inhabitable in the winters... She also didn't fix our toilet handle because we were moving out of the house at the end of the month. "Why would we fix it?" is what she said. To close, she made up a bunch of stuff in the final walkthrough (scotch tape on the window which was there before, stains in the wooden floor of the bedroom) and made everything into a huge drama, slamming cabinet doors, etc. If you want a home that gives you peace of mind, definitely look elsewhere.
Advice to the owners
Learn to treat your tenants with some respect. Smile a bit, life is short.
