No heat, unresponsive super
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, cleanly shared areas, and kind neighbors (for the most part).
Cons:
For most of the winter, there was no heat, and my super was unresponsive to this issue. Issues with mold, needed bathroom renovations, and bugs, despite a monthly exterminator.
Advice to owner:
Heat your building in the winter !!!!!!
