Updated Review after years
Pros
We have stayed here for years because the rent has been very cheap.
Cons
Beyond the cosmetic issues the overall management of the building has gotten worse over the years. It was pretty bad initially, ownership was difficult to contact and we kept having leaks and issues with extreme pest control. The heat has gotten much worse, this had been the only plus but now this is no longer a factor and there are still major leaks and pest issues. Management just does not care, they know its cheap and will only improve the bare minimum.
Advice to the owners
Your decision to stop appropriately heating the unit is negatively affecting tenants
Well maintained building
Pros
- Awesome super who is very helpful, friendly, and personable - Awesome trash maintenance - Conveniently located - Great neighbors (long time residents) - Elevator building (when working)
Cons
- Dealt with some roaches (never an infestation) - Had a mouse once - Someunits in the building were not as well maintained (leaks, cracks in the plaster, sink issues, etc.) - Dealt with some persistent mold due to poor bathroom ventilation - Elevator was often broken
Advice to the owners
Management is very hands off - never interfaced with landlord (slumlord type). Only interfaced with awesome supers. Not very attentive unless complaint is made if it is a big repair that is needed.
