Great building, great super

Cons
Some loud dogs and only 2 washing machines dryer doesn’t always work
Advice to the owners
New laundry
Wonderful Area, Nice building but poorly managed
Pros
The area is perfect - one block from the 456, a short walk to the Q, near Central Park, so many conveniences within a few minutes walk.
Cons
Elevator is out.... a lot. They put a sign up list up for the exterminator monthly (either for an active problem or preventative), but then exterminator doesn't show. HVACs routinely stop working. we have 2 washers and 2 dryers in the basement, and it's rare all machines are functional. they are also dirty (rust, mildew, not sure) and leave a residue on clothes sometimes. Perhaps worst of all, there has been a huge mouse problem in several apartments recently. Management company (not referring to Super, he does his best and he's only one person) has been incredibly lax about trying to alleviate the problem. When a problem is reported, they take several days to a week before sending an exterminator or taking any action. You'd think they would want to take care of any pest related problems as quickly as possible so they don't escalate. This was a very nice place to live, but within the last 2 years things have gone way downhill. The management company just cashes rent checks and does not care about the living conditions of those in the building.
Advice to the owners
Care about your building and tenants enough to keep the elevator working, hot water flowing, hvacs working AND PESTS OUT. There are responsibilities you've signed on for when you cash people's rent checks.
