Manhattan valley apartment
Pros
The super is amazing and responsive!
Cons
construction noise was loud
Advice to the owners
be transparent about construction
Mostly OK but some issues
Pros
The super lives in the building and is wonderful, the neighbors are all nice and kind. The unit we lived in was recently renovated well. Trash is taken care of every day. Exterminator every two weeks or so, but you have to be home. And there's roof access.
Cons
The lobby is a little dingy and there were sometimes roaches down there/on the stairs. Def some rats on the block. There was LOUD construction that they didn't tell us about in the spring, summer, and fall. Heating works a little too well (it gets hot - not the worst problem) and you can't control it.
Advice to the owners
Just make sure people know about the construction
