Building needs major improvements
Pros
Units are pretty spacious and have lots of closet space. Building offers 3 and 6 month lease extensions once it’s time to renew. The building’s super really does try his best but he’s only one man.
Cons
Construction of building is very poor. Building was built in 1961 so the walls are very thin. I mean so thin you can hear your neighbor flush their toilet. Neighbors are constantly fighting and building management does nothing even when residents are in clear violation of the lease. As long as they are paying their rent they do not address issues. Pests are a HUGE issue in the building. Some apartments have it worse than others but that means that you will eventually experience roaches. Even if you are diligent about being clean and treating your apartment with insecticides. It’s truly an issue with the building. Heat is inconsistent and water is brown and rust colored at times. The elevator is constantly getting stuck and hasn’t been inspected in a year. Three washing machines are currently broken and they break down constantly. Residents are not allowed to use working machines in neighboring buildings owned by same management. There is also an issue with residents removing items from washers and dryers. Package theft has been an issue in the building as well. Sensitive documents have been stolen, electronics, packages opened and rifled through. Building seems to be prone to mold, leaks, and excess moisture in bathroom. Building manager avoids residents, rarely answers emails, and regularly loses documents and lease renewals.
Advice to the owners
Stop taking advantage of your residents, address the issues in the building, stop making false promises and give people what they’re paying $2000+ for.
