You can't reach the landlord
Pros
The people who live here are good people
Cons
The building is in very bad shape. it is rarely cleaned, The landlord does not take responsibility to repairs, instead the management company insists you tell the super about repairs. The super is fine and he works hard, but there is too much to keep up with. A greedy management company runs this building and many others in the city: Manor Management is the worst landlord that I have ever paid rent to. I would leave if I could afford to.
Advice to the owners
provide decent appartments for the rent that you charge. Maybe you need to pay your super more because he is stressed.
Great Super, Terrible Management Team
Pros
Live in Super is kind and responsive. High ceilings, great natural window light, lots of great restaurants nearby, very close to A train, safe neighborhood, gorgeous parks.
Cons
Good luck negotiating a fair rent if you don’t know real estate market/ laws well enough. Old building, boiler always not working, heat inconsistent, bathrooms, windows and walls need better insulation and caulk. Packages get stolen a lot. ROACHES and fruit flies?? Extermination once a month (if you can afford to stay home for the day) but it doesn’t help, had to buy my own supplies. Thin walls (noise) , occasional loud cars racing down Payson late a night.
Advice to the owners
If you want to keep the tenants that pay on time and could be long haulers, be willing to work with them during difficult times. Constant turnover costs could be avoided if you didn’t blatantly ignore calls and try to avoid open conversations/negotiations.
