landlord does bare minimum, sometimes not even that
Former Tenant
Pros:
proximity to the subway, live-in super seemed to be a nice person who wanted to make the building better — but was slowed down by landlord's slow responsiveness and failure to regularly reimburse him for supplies
Cons:
huge roaches, landlord special thick paint, scaffolding blocking windows for years. ConEd required them to shut off our cooking gas due to unsafe pipes they hadn't repaired, and it stayed off for 8+ months before we vacated because they didn't make the fixes. They gave us a hot plate instead of being able to use our stove and oven

Good super but no gas
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good area, great bodega downstairs, good super. Cozy apartment for being old.
Cons:
Scaffolding has been up for years, there was no gas in the building when I moved out, and it seemed like they were lying to new tenants about electric stoves being installed. We cooked on hot plates all through the pandemic, and they wouldn't give us (longtime renters!) any discount. Owner wasn’t responsive at all and didn’t treat the super well, who was trying to help tenants and maintain the building.
Advice to owner:
Pay for repairs or cut rent deals with tenants!
