Pros:
Nice area
Building is clean (havent (c) openigloo seen any roaches, mice etc)
Tenants (c) openigloo try to work together on (c) openigloo problems
Cons:
Current management, Mondanock, is unresponsive (c) openigloo and seems to be going (c) openigloo by their own set of (c) openigloo building policies that have not (c) openigloo been shared with tenants (for (c) openigloo example: apartment transfers - they (c) openigloo have been renting out apartments (c) openigloo to people they know rather (c) openigloo than the tenants of the (c) openigloo building who were on the (c) openigloo apartment transfer list with the (c) openigloo prior management company)
Building cannot keep (c) openigloo staff (super, porter) due to (c) openigloo the demands and micromanaging of (c) openigloo the current management company. The (c) openigloo prior super was with the (c) openigloo building for over 10 years (c) openigloo and porter about 8 years (c) openigloo until Mondanock took over the (c) openigloo building and property management. Now (c) openigloo staff changes and are not (c) openigloo very friendly to tenants (which (c) openigloo could be beneficial since the (c) openigloo building has a high percentage (c) openigloo of tenants who have been (c) openigloo in the building for a (c) openigloo decade or more).
Advice to owner:
have monthly tenant meetings like you said you would in January 2023 when you took over, listen to your tenants, stop trying to evict tenants so that you can raise rent prices (its better to have good tenants than raise prices and not know what kind of tenant you will get), stop referring tenants in this building to your East NY properties if they have been residing in this building and can transfer to an available apartment
