Minimal rent increase despite not (c) openigloo stabilized

Loud surroundings, heat takes a (c) openigloo while to kick on effectively

Consider tenant requests, or at least the ones that also benefit you.

Clean building, well maintained, and (c) openigloo with spacious apartments. Convenient location (c) openigloo and a friendly neighborhood. Good (c) openigloo heat management and the building (c) openigloo owners are actually good about (c) openigloo responding to requests or questions.

Thin walls which means you (c) openigloo hear a LOT. Everything from (c) openigloo arguing couples, to barking dogs, (c) openigloo or people barreling down the (c) openigloo stairs.

Keep it up, and leave rent prices alone.

Luis the Super lives on (c) openigloo the ground floor. He knows (c) openigloo his stuff and can pretty (c) openigloo much fix anything. You just (c) openigloo have to request your service, (c) openigloo but their maintenance was on (c) openigloo point for me anyway. Anytime (c) openigloo I've ever had issues, they (c) openigloo were quick to fix it (c) openigloo and not just a temporary (c) openigloo bandaid either. They did a (c) openigloo really good job. Hallways were (c) openigloo always clean.

I lived on the 6th (c) openigloo floor, so obviously walk-ups suck, (c) openigloo but in the summer it (c) openigloo gets really, really hot up (c) openigloo in the apt and it's (c) openigloo really expensive to cool it (c) openigloo down, especially with the bad (c) openigloo insulation. For our 3bdrm (technically (c) openigloo 2), it would cost around (c) openigloo $350-$400 in the middle of (c) openigloo the summer. After Covid, package (c) openigloo thieves became a huge problem, (c) openigloo so we left signs for (c) openigloo everyone to not let random (c) openigloo strangers in because anyone could (c) openigloo just pretend to be Amazon (c) openigloo or whatever. I asked specifically (c) openigloo who the package was for (c) openigloo before letting anyone in and (c) openigloo they would get super upset. (c) openigloo We constantly hounded the landlord, (c) openigloo but there did not seem (c) openigloo to be any sort of (c) openigloo action taken to even try (c) openigloo to fix the problem. I (c) openigloo don't know what the situation (c) openigloo is now, but even with (c) openigloo cameras, it was still a (c) openigloo problem. The thieves would tear (c) openigloo open the box and take (c) openigloo the items and leave the (c) openigloo boxes behind. They don't care. (c) openigloo We've chased them out many (c) openigloo times. Our apartment was kept spotless (c) openigloo for good reason and rarely (c) openigloo had any pest issues. If (c) openigloo for whatever reason you're a (c) openigloo slob, you will run into (c) openigloo mice issues. Make sure to (c) openigloo be on top of your (c) openigloo cleaning. I was going to (c) openigloo renew last minute, but the (c) openigloo agent that was working the (c) openigloo unit made it seem like (c) openigloo I couldn't, and looking back (c) openigloo I was well within my (c) openigloo rights. I should've sought legal (c) openigloo action. My unit was stabilized (c) openigloo and now rent has jumped (c) openigloo 30-50%. They definitely wanted me (c) openigloo out.

Thank you for letting me live here for 12 years!

amazing location, decent sized apartments, (c) openigloo in-unit washer

constant roaches, downstairs neighbor was (c) openigloo a nightmare but the rest (c) openigloo of the neighbors were great

Used to be cheaper than (c) openigloo the rest of the area (c) openigloo but no longer the case Good (c) openigloo location

Apartments are old and unrenovated Management (c) openigloo increased rent by roughly 50% (c) openigloo over the course of 2 (c) openigloo years Lots of package theft for (c) openigloo which building and management are (c) openigloo unwilling to find solutions Archaic intercom (c) openigloo system Bad insulation Water pressure is (c) openigloo not great

The apartment itself is nice. (c) openigloo Maintenance responds to requests usually (c) openigloo within the week, which isn’t (c) openigloo helpful when an essential item, (c) openigloo like your toilet or washing (c) openigloo machine, need assistance.

- neighbors steal your packages - (c) openigloo mice in the building - (c) openigloo noisy neighborhood at times

Good price for the amenities (c) openigloo provided (laundry, heat/hot water included (c) openigloo in rent). Floor plan is (c) openigloo spacious. Located within 5 blocks (c) openigloo of two different red line (c) openigloo stops. Super is very friendly (c) openigloo and responsive! Submitting a maintenance (c) openigloo request through the tenant portal (c) openigloo takes a very long time, (c) openigloo but the super himself is (c) openigloo very efficient.

Apartment was dirty when handed (c) openigloo off, and multiple areas needed (c) openigloo repairs (bathroom sink, dishwasher, living (c) openigloo room radiator). There is a (c) openigloo tenant in the building who (c) openigloo steals packages, and management has (c) openigloo not figured out who. You (c) openigloo will have to deal with (c) openigloo the police to hopefully get (c) openigloo it resolved. Management is hard (c) openigloo to get a hold of (c) openigloo both through email and the (c) openigloo tenant portal.

Update tenants proactively/regularly when a relevant issue arises.

You can get a unit (c) openigloo with a washer/dryer, super is (c) openigloo responsive/ helpful and lives nearby. (c) openigloo Close to a lot of (c) openigloo cool things in the east (c) openigloo village and lower east side.

Unresponsive management/ owner, lots of (c) openigloo drafts from windows, radiator leaks

Respond to your tenants and fix issues when they arise, not months later.
