Nice Doorman Building With No Frills
Pros
Doormen are helpful and reliable. In general, everything works and is clean here.
Cons
The exceptions to the general working order and the disorganization of the staff and management are sometimes frustrating. Elevators had to be repaired and did not work for months. Plumbing is old. General upkeep has not been done for decades.
Advice to the owners
keep working on upkeep, communication, and organization
Just don’t do it
Pros
Good water pressure when it works and it’s not brown. Friendly doormen when they’re there. Elevators when they’re not broken.
Cons
Poor pest and bug control. Building constantly smells like stale urine (this is common knowledge amongst staff). The monopoly owner is borderline slumlord that doesn’t care and only employs family members (Google the family, it’s public knowledge). The heat and AC are always down and owner claims repairs are being done when they aren’t (don’t be fooled by heat and AC included). Water is shut down for 12 hours every other month for “cleaning.” Elevators are often broken. TLDR: avoid.
Advice to the owners
Be human and respect your tenants
