New Owners that just look at tenants as check writers
Pros
Fine building overall. They keep the alley where the trash goes clean and orderly. (Landlords before were more engaged with the apartment)
Cons
Repairs take forever. They are not responsive, and when they are, they often treat the tenants with little priority. Not transparent, it's on tenant to make sure the work is done. Very common theme is we email them and have to follow up one, two or more times just to get one response. Hot water issues, during peak winter storm and they haven't fixed it as of me writing this (6 days). Mold issues. No consistent super which leaves tenants independent.
Advice to the owners
Strengthening the response times, being transparent when there's issues. Actively fixing issues when raised.
Great sublet experience
Pros
Had a great experience subletting for a few months here! Never had a problem with packages getting stolen, very consistent pest control under new management, sweet neighbors.
Cons
My particular unit has a couple quirks, like no outlets in the bathroom and kitchen cabinets too tall for anyone under 5'3 to reach without a stepstool-- just be aware of that!
