Great rent stabilized units
Pros
Big units, lots of sunshine, high ceilings
Cons
Old building, owners not willing to put in work or make changes
Poorly run Pinnacle building
Pros
Close to trains, Park, Gardens, Museum. Some really nice neighbors.
Cons
Some real sketchass neighbors. Super barely does anything, and isn't allowed to unless the supersketchy management company allows it (good luck with that). The true owner/management company is the absolute worst: Pinnacle / scumbag Joel Wiener. Building is rife with mold, roaches and also mice. Garbage situation is a nightmare. Package theft is constant. The elevator and heat goes off constantly, and the absence of it is used to harass tenants. The heat is definitely controlled remotely by Pinnacle (so the super can't correct it, even when it's below legal standards). Pinnacle also installed really sketchy video cameras all over the buildings public areas, which they've used to actively watch tenants. The block parties are a neighborhood vibe, but some of the amateur DJs need to understand that not everyone wants to hear that crap outside their window all night long.
Advice to the owners
Sell your properties and let someone decent maintain them. You are terrible people.
