Building management takes forever to fix things.
Pros
Location and transportation. Tashkent has the best produce.
Cons
There is a major lack of urgency when it comes to doing repairs and maintenance in the building unless it is the building’s superintendent’s family who lives throughout it. When the entire back of the building was experiencing water damage to their units due to lack of preventative maintenance on the bricks outside, it took them almost a year for them to finally get around to fixing it. And even then, they work to patch, not fix. Your walls could be falling apart from the inside out and all they’ll do is slap a cost of plaster over it and call it a day. You have to jump through multiple hoops to get the building to do anything for you and your apartment and only when you threaten to withhold rent and call 311 will they maybe CONSIDER allowing the superintendent to do his job. They also will not let you know in advance when repairs and maintenance are being done to the building that will affect us as tenants. They will shut off the water and then slap a sign on the lobby door right after to make it look like they did it in advance, meanwhile I just got home at 3AM from work and there was nothing there. Now it’s 10AM and there’s a sign on the door that says “tomorrow” with today’s date. When management comes to do inspections they also will give very little notice and expect you to be available all hours of the day for them to come and “inspect” your apartment just to do nothing about it. A few years ago they literally just tore up the entire sidewalk out front knowing full well there’s disabled and elderly people in this building who cannot climb up the side door stairs. I remember specifically hearing one of the other tenants in a wheelchair talking about how she couldn’t leave the building for the entire 2-3 weeks in took for them to fix it. The heat is another story. When you actually need the heat you get nothing, but when it’s 60 degrees outside they’ll have it in full blast to the point where you’ll wake up feeling like you’re suffocating and need to turn your AC on in the winter. Then when it’s 10 degrees, the heat will come and go. It’ll turn on for 30 minutes every 3 hours. You will freeze. 311 doesn’t do anything about it either.
Advice to the owners
Work to actually fix your damn building because then maybe you wouldn’t need to come out every couple of months to fix the same issues over and over again. Also tell the superintendent to stop favoring his family. It’s annoying af being home on the 4th of July just to see them holding a party out the side door because loud and obnoxious.
Stay Away !!!!
