The Mold Should Be Paying the Rent
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super amazing volunteer super, he is always there to help
Cons:
Mold in the bathroom that doesn't go away (only offered to paint over it instead of getting rid of it), in building washer keeps breaking and destroying clothes and they refuse to get rid of it or fix it, OVERCHARGES FOR RENT (rent is less on legal paper than what we are told to pay), thin walls so neighbors and everyone hear you no matter what, illegally split our bedroom in half and gave it to the other apartment and they constantly complain to me about noise even though I hear them fighting as well.
Advice to owner:
start paying the volunteer super he is amazing

It’s alright for the location
Former Tenant
Pros:
No one really bothers you. Its location is amazing, it has laundry in building and it’s relatively safe.
Cons:
The roaches. But we were able to keep them away from our room, the building does have a problem with them though. Also the super is never there and I think they give random tenants access to cameras.
Advice to owner:
Just make the old man the super since he is basically the super

The roaches might as well start paying rent
Former Tenant
Pros:
Working elevator (sometimes) No one steals your packages
Cons:
Management is completely unresponsive, any issues that i have Only get resolved quickly because of the nice guy who lives on the 6th floor. I dont Think he even works there he just helps out when he can
Advice to owner:
Please pay for my carbon monoxide/fire alarm and fire extinguisher it’s literally so hazardous and I’m pretty sure a violation?

Roaches roaches roaches
Former Tenant
Pros:
Generally a quiet building unless your window faces the synagogue that shares windows with the alley (The synagogue seems to be immune to covid-safety enforcement and noise complaints).
The super is a nice person and very hard working, but its too much work for one person alone especially with all of the added workload/pressure the pandemic put on the job. So while he generally does a great job keeping the building clean there are some understandable gaps/lapses.
Cons:
The roach problem is out of control. They hire exterminators to come by once in a blue moon, but all they do is squirt some poison food paste or something in a few spots and call it a day.. but if anything the population swells after each visit of the exterminator. They also never give you a heads up when the exterminator is coming to make sure you'll be home. The roaches run this building.
I suspect someone is illegally renting out the rooms in the basement, which doesnt generally bother me however one of these rooms was storing a motorcycle and each time the owner took it in or out the fumes would circulate throughout the basement and first floor, and the engine revving would make the floors and walls shake.
It also appears that after a recent construction job, there has been some asbestos interrupted during the course of the work (where none of the workers wore face masks for covid safety or general not breathing in asbestos dust safety) and irresponsibly left the powder on the floor and to circulate in the air.
Advice to owner:
Fumigate the basement properly, and hire a real exterminator who doesnt stand to benefit to collecting a recurring check when their work doesnt do anything to limit the roach population in the building.
Please stop hiring the cheapest/unlicensed workers to do construction throughout the building, they are reckless with safety protocals and understandably do a half assed job that will inevitably require more repairs.

Cheap people that don't care.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Roomy bright appartments is a good thing.
Cons:
Some apartments are extremely cold to be in the winter. We have ice built up on windows! 1. Ppl complained with no luck. Management says to fix old windows in the building, and they will have to split the cost among tenants. BS - this is your business and your cost of operating it. 2. Draft windows problem is in every apartment. It's COLD, Freezing! 3. Old falling apart windows. Be prepared to have a high electric bill because of the space heater you will be using. 4. They even bolt in all the windows in the building, so we have no fresh air coming in the hall! COVID prevention is not about this Management! 5. As a previous reviewer mentioned, there are cockroaches in this building. Exterminator company is a joke and doesn't do the good treatment. They use cream crap pesticides that simply don't work. Tax right off for the management as if they spend a fortune for treatment (no stupid live here), it's obvious.
Advice to owner:
Stop being CHEAP! You are the Cheapest Management in the block, and everyone knows it now! Change all windows out of our pocket.
