Roach infested, nasty basement and trash area - mgmt doesn’t do anything
Pros
Size of apartment
Cons
Building is infested with roaches and doesn’t matter how clean you keep your apartment they will always come back. Exterminator visits are clearly not effective and mgmt doesn’t change company or increase visits. Also the basement area is always nasty and smelly, trash area is not well maintained and the infestation never gets better. Common areas are falling apart, it looks very abandoned, elevator constantly breaks.
Advice to the owners
Improve pest control
Usually decent but no heat in the winter and elevator breaks down occasionally
Pros
Building common area and outside is clean and well maintained. Location is great and convenient, close to all. Supermarket downstairs.
Cons
Little to no heat in the winter: when it's 50 degrees outside, the heat is blasting but when it's 10 degrees outside, there's hardly any heat. Elevator problems: the elevator breaks down occasionally so the FDNY has to be called to get the poor folks stuck inside out. Rat problem in the basement. Neighbors: occasionally they are careless and leave the water running so it leaks down into the apartments below, ruining the ceiling and walls.
Advice to the owners
Turn on the heat in the winter or install a thermostat so it automatically turns on; upgrade/fix the elevator.
