Changed my locks. Currently taking them to small claims court
Pros
Super is okay. Garbage is taken out regularly. Insulation between the buildings is relatively good and neighbors are mostly quiet and respectful.
Cons
Update: currently taking them to small claims court bc they changed my locks halfway through my last month, then fully ghosted me and have not paid my security deposit. Landlords are slumlords. Entryway and backyard are gross, building in general is grungy. Some neighbors can be loud late at night. When I moved in, the apartment was not really cleaned and didn't have a fire alarm. Buzzer has been broken the whole time and the front door lock is sometimes broken. No hot water sometimes during peak shower times.
Spacious but poorly managed
Pros
My unit had large rooms. The heat works too well, had to open windows in winter. Neighbors are friendly.
Cons
Very poorly managed trash. Had mice and cockroaches, though that’s mostly resolved now - need to keep up on exterminations. Lots of hot water problems and leaks from the roof.
Advice to the owners
Fully fix things rather than bandaid them!
