Nice Building, Not Great Landlords

Pros

-incredible corner building -unique apartment layouts -rent stabilized

Cons

-The property manager is less than professional at all times and will drag their feet on some things (mold removal, installing a new gate, fixing the intercom) but not others (basic maintenance, painting) -The exterminator is a strange, invasive, and combative man -Hallway regularly gets dirty and the 2 ladies that come basically push around water and bleach and don't do much else

Advice to the owners

Listen to your tenants, pay for better maintenance. Don't be so combative. Invest in your property.
