Well designed but poorly maintained
Pros
-Trash chute/recycling/laundry on each floor -Elevator -Good number of outlets in unit and well sized closets
Cons
-Management is slow to fix issues and says they are not responsible for some of the appliances in the apartment -Apartments are not well insulated so noise between units is typical and rooms can get very hot in the summer -Paint used in units is flat and shows scuffs/marks easily and is impossible to clean
Advice to the owners
Fire Susan (current manager) and pay for real cleaners/super to take out trash regularly and maintain common spaces
Rude and unresponsive management!
Pros
The neighbors are lovely, both inside and outside the building itself. The building is rent-stabilized and has an elevator, which is great. I've never had any issues with pests, but I think people who live on lower floors have at times.
Cons
The laundry (esp. washing) machines are almost always broken, and management is rude and dismissive about it. Getting this and other problems fixed is always a huge hassle, as they always take forever to reply, even if you follow up multiple times.
