rent stabilized, easy
Pros
easy to contact maintenance, rent stabilized units available, gym kept up, sidewalk always clean, great package and guest management
Cons
sometimes difficult to reach management, hallways not always air conditioned, laundry machines occasionally broken
Avoid like the plague!
Pros
New construction large apartment (1 br w/ walk-in closet) neighbors are great pet friendly bicyle parking
Cons
Management completely non-responsive to tenant requests/email/phone calls. Building already falling into disrepair (not even 10 years old yet) AC / appliances will never be replaced (even if non-fixable) Management will try and evict you for ANYTHING. REPEATEDLY. Laundry only on three floors (of 14). total 19 washers and 18 dryers for 500+ apartments. Unsupervised children use hallways and common areas as play areas. The FOB entrance doors are often broke and allow anyone who wants access to the entire building. Security is nonexistant. Management changes the address to remit rent about once a year. They have changed names four times already -- with no notice to tenants. There is no emergency lighting in the building. Stairwells are not monitored by security cameras. Managment is currently waging war with rent stabilized tenants by not renewing RS leases or offering leases with ridiculous changes to the terms and conditions -- then ignores requests for correction -- resulting in the tenant not having a lease renewed and possibly being evicted for "not signing a lease renewal." ... I could go on.
Advice to the owners
Perhaps you should find another business to be in -- one that doesn't directly affect the lives of SO MANY other people.
