Fine, but don’t expect much
Pros
The apartment itself was nice and a great size. The terrace was my favorite place to be.
Cons
The landlord is unresponsive a lot of the time and is annoyed the rest of the time. I had to keep asking to get something repaired for a full year before they fixed it. The building manager is lazy and a liar — this was confirmed by a super who said I should always go over her head. The building/elevator often smells and is kept in disgusting condition
Advice to the owners
Don’t be so offended by the notion you should do your job.
Property is poorly maintained
Pros
Astoria is wonderful, great area
Cons
Buildings and apartments are poorly maintained, and any work completed is done as cheaply as possible. There is no is insulation in the building, drafty and very cold. Front door lock will break and will stay broken for months on end. Tennant pays for heat and hot water.
Advice to the owners
Just be better
