needs new super

Pros

close to the subway

Cons

the super is the most laziest person ever. does nothing for the people that lives there. doesnt clean, whenever theres a problem she either doesn’t answer, or tells you “if you dont like it you can leave”. Theres barely even heat.

Advice to the owners

needs a new super ASAP
