Owner vs. MGMT Competition : who can do the least!
Pros
This pre war building is amazing. High ceilings and huge square footage. Beautiful courtyard.
Cons
Most of the problems stem from management, the owner and neighbors. Cleanliness is a problem, halls and floors are dirty, recycling and compost rules are not followed and sometimes their are weird smells coming from neighbors apartments who keep their door open like we live in a hostel. Neighbors also leave junk they don't want in the hall or lobby. Who does that? Finally the elevator replacement is still ongoing since May 2025 and it is now February 2026 - delays happen but no updates is no bueno. Super is a bit racist.
Advice to the owners
Total Management - keep tenants informed and stop cutting corners. We don't want to live in a slum. Owners - Total Management works for you (for all of us) and you paid a lot to live here so stay on them so this place doesn't lower your investment and because I am sure you don't want to live in a mess either.
It is alright
Pros
Elevator, close to a small park and subway
Cons
God damn roaches, unit 6B roommate/landlord’s mother kinda crazy neat freak, there still be roaches anyway Clean everything every day then open doors for hours so new roaches and rats can come in
