We need a Super
Pros
Some neighbors are nice
Cons
People need to know where to put their garbage. Need to work
Advice to the owners
Must listen to the tenantas when they call with a complain. Needs to come and ck to see how ppl are maintaing the apt. Too much is going on horders etc.
Rent stabilized for some trade-offs
Pros
It’s inexpensive and some of the apartments are pretty newly renovated. A lot of the tenants have been there for a long time and the sense of community is strong.
Cons
The elevator works maybe 55% of the time, and is always filthy because the super uses it to transport trash to the basement. There is often a massive pile of trash at the base of the main staircase collecting pests. Packages are almost always stolen, seriously I’ve lost so many packages I just have them sent to a friends house. Hallways are very dirty, walls gross and floors unswept. The lobby is pretty depressing. A houseless woman lives in the vestibule on cold days which is honestly fine but no one cleans up the space.
Advice to the owners
Get a super that does his job and cares about the building/older tenants. Do more to prevent package theft. Take a little pride in your property, it’s very historical but honestly it’s a total dump.
