Don't Live Here
Pros
Great neighborhood, below market rent, and a fantastic super!
Cons
To start, I should note that I was on a sublease, and I could not fight the injustices the way I wanted to because the leaseholder didn't want to make a fuss. That said - Water damage from construction made mushrooms grow out of my ceiling, and the landlord didn't care. He sent a construction crew to pull down the exterior of the wall, and then paint over it. The crew was lovely, but he would not return my calls until I asked the crew to get him to answer me. He was deeply unkind. No testing was ever done on the mushrooms, so who knows what toxins I was breathing in, no rent relief occurred for the time and stress of having to upend my life and move everything out of the room that day, and the water damage was never properly fixed - the mushrooms were pulled out and the wall was painted over. Because the damage still exists, black mold is likely to grow. He also continually gaslit me when other things went wrong - for instance, the construction crew broke the skylight on the roof, leaving dangerous shards of thick glass all over the top floor landing and stairs for an entire day until I asked the super to clean it up (not his job, but he graciously did). I have photos and videos clearly showing the extent of the damage, but he referred to it as "just a little dust."
