LIPSTICK ON A PIG.
Pros
The view; near public transportation, churches, schools.
Cons
Building staff unprofessional, lazy, combatative, disrespectful, slovenly, unqualified. Rats & other vermin present in building proper & without. Staff openly display discriminatory practices & harassment tactics. Building understaffed, infrastructure wanting, there is no adherence to DOB/DEP/DHCR Codes.
Advice to the owners
Time to wipe the slate clean as pertains to staffing. Hire a qualified superintendent with legally obtained & verifiable credentials. Increase staff to original levels: 2 porters, 4 doormen, 1 handyman, 1 Super/Property Mgr. Put porters on staggered shifts. Install time clock. Make basement entry ADA compliant. Install required surveillance signage inside & out. Provide proper elevator carpeted foul weather mats. Vacuum hallways minimum 3 times per week. Clean laundry room & machines 2 times per day. Pickup trash at garbage rooms twice per day. Cease privatizing passenger elevator(s) during morning rush from 6AM - 9:30AM. Retrieve building access keys from staff: all access keys to be left in the building under lock & key available only upon request. Provide renewed access to the 18th floor Residential Common Room to tenants. Keep exterior & interior garage doors closed at all times. Inform tenants in a timely fashion of demolition, construction noise. Cease allowing contractors to work weekends, legal holidays, & "after hours". Provide self-closing fire stair access doors.

On some cold winter days I didn’t think the heat was warm enough, the highway can get noisy during the summer with motor cycles and, the water had some rust

Warmer apartments would be nice, clean the pipes
