Overpriced, unresponsive landlord
Pros
There are Good neighbors.
Cons
Packages constantly stolen, landlord refuses to put cameras. Roach problems all the time coming from plumbing. Apartments on the right side of the building always struggle with lack of hot water and heat. First three floors struggle badly with leaks in the walls, serious plumbing issues that are just patched and not resolved. Bullying and illegal practices attempting to remove tenants who have been there the longest. High prices for zero amenities. Repairs and replacements take months.
Advice to the owners
Charge less, make repairs faster, make sure exterminators come outside of normal work hours. Do the expensive work to Replace the plumbing in the building and solve major problems permanently.
Decent Building in Astoria
Pros
The super is great. Lives there with his family and is very responsive.
Cons
The management company is slow to respond and not flexible. I also received three MCI increases in my first two years living here. They were not too expensive, but I was not expecting them. Needed a deep cleaning when I moved in. Not much was done between tenants.
Advice to the owners
Improve communication and customer service after the lease is signed.
