Okay building, scammer Superintendent
Pros
Convenient location. 2 out of 3 of the doormen are very nice.
Cons
Superintendent (and handyman together) are scammers. They extorted me and charged me $400 to “allow” me to move out because I didn’t schedule a move out inspection before my move (no one ever told me to do that nor have I had to do that for any other apartment). They made me pay them directly to fix things in my apartment, none of which were cause by us. They also told us not to tell the property managers because “they would just charge us more.” Not that the property management would respond to my calls or emails anyway. They also came up with random payment amounts off the top of their head before they even knew what they were doing to fix the issues. Also, one of the doormen is incredibly rude, but weirdly much nicer to the more conventionally attractive women. Also only 2/3 of the bedrooms had AC and we were unable to install a window AC unit in the 3rd bedroom.
Advice to the owners
Be responsive and handle your superintendent. Multiple people I spoke to in the apartment had the same complaints.
It is ok I guess
Pros
Fantastic Super - without him, this building would be trash
Cons
Everything is old and kinda falling apart Loud and just frankly annoying neighbors Owner is not good
Advice to the owners
