Deceptive landlord practices
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice location, great views on the higher floors, lovely concierge staff
Cons:
Poorly maintained building. Only 2 elevators servicing the entire 34 story building and 1 elevator is often out. Be prepared to wait for 10 minutes for the elevator and then stop on every floor.
Also, landlord engages in deceptive practices around renewal time. They will try to get you to renew at the highest possible price. However, if you give notice, they place the apartment on the market at a competitive market price. Average cost of rent increase of the past years was 15-20% each time at renewal. After 4 years, last renewal would have made the total price increase 52%.
Advice to owner:
Stop price gouging. Start taking better care of the building. Fix the elevators.

Ok building with challenging management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Doorman staff is friendly. They are the only redeemable thing worth noting
Gym in building
Cons:
Unit has not been updated in nearly 10 years which was relayed to me at signing. Zero negotiation on lease terms. Increase at 35% a month.
Lacks amenities for monthly rent rate.
You have to sign up for their bill management system with additional fees every month for water sewage garbage heat and hot water. This is in addition to electric. You are also required to sign up for their partners insurance agreement.
Advice to owner:
The people who rent from you are people too
Has instances where things were broken and not readily fixed or addressed with an accusatory tone.

Great place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
Having the leasing office in the building, doorman etc. Everything works very well in the place.
Cons:
The windows inside the apartments don't open fully. They also don't clean the window glasses from the outside (which of course is impossible to make it on your own because they don't open fully), this gives a bad aspect to the apartment.
Advice to owner:
None.
