    Pros:
    Live-In Super is typically responsive if you call, however maintenance and fixes can still take up to a week.

    Stairs are cleaned every now and then (2x a year maybe?)

    Pest control every month

    Large roof access

    Amazing location - several restaurants, coffee, laundromat and grocery options

    Nice neighbors - a mix of students and long time tenants
    Cons:
    Lots of rats on the street, especially on trash days

    Sometimes they close off access to the roof, and install a super loud alarm that is triggered by sound

    I lived in 6th floor, so walking up and down was a hassle.

    Heat can be really strong, and you can control it.
    Advice to owner:
    None
