Pre war UWS charm with a great super
Former Tenant
Pros:
Edwin is a wonderful super who gets to know everyone in the building. He is easy to get ahold of and cares about the people in the building.
The apartments are large and have old pre war UWS charm.
Elevator in the building and laundry in the basement.
No electric cost but flat fee per ac unit in apartment.
Cons:
Laundry often had issues (at least you could get refunded if it didn’t work though)
Management (not super) were difficult to connect with and ignored issues (floor was coming up and didn’t do anything until formal complaint submitted to city)
Leaks and old building issues
Inconsistent rent increases
Advice to owner:
Update apartments if you want to do large rent increases

Bait and Switch
Former Tenant
Pros:
Pre-War construction and allows pets.
Cons:
Extremely difficult to get basic service repairs completed. Told if made 311 complaints lease won’t be renewed. Rents are not equal between apartments- very suspicious.
