Landlord is a slumlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
I love the neighbors in the building.
Cons:
The super is rude, fixes nothing, is anti Semitic, has assaulted other tenants. Landlord fixes nothing. We have roaches, waterbugs, mice, rats, and bedbugs on the 2nd floor and they’re spreading. Plumbing is falling apart. Leaks and mold in many apartments the LL usually just paints over.
Heat and hot water rarely work properly during the winter. Multiple space heaters are a necessity living here.

Advice to owner:
Hire an actual super, provide your tenants with basic legally required living conditions. Stop illegally raising our rent.
