Pros:
Really friendly staff and responsive management, neighbors are generally good
Cons:
The elevators are pretty slow when they work, but when an elevator is out, it can take forever! Also, I've heard and had conversations with the leasing office staff, and it is strictly hardball business... need flexibility with your lease? They will make it as hard and expensive for you to break as possible. No human consideration. No extenuating circumstances. They're about as cold as NYC real estate gets. The do not care to hold onto good tenants. If you can pay whatever they determine market rate should be, great. Just know that going in.
Advice to owner:
I realize you guys are in a position where it doesn't benefit you to hold onto tenants due to rent stabilization. I also realize you don't really care to build community. But this building would benefit greatly from a greater sense of community. I suppose a mega corporation such as yours probably wouldn't consider the people side of real estate, but it could really be a great place to live if you did.
