Cheap but at a cost
Pros
Cheaper rent, 2 blocks away from subway, fire department 1.5 block away, post office across the street
Cons
Inconsistent heat during the winter, no hot water when needed the most, ceiling leaks, super is unresponsive and lazy (he only takes care of his own people), mail/package theft, faulty electrical wiring, landlord unresponsive, cockroach infestation
Advice to the owners
Hire a better super, fix the faulty electrical wiring, hire a real electrician
Cheap but at cost
Pros
The building has a super who makes sure the actual building is clean. Unit had a recently renovated kitchen and all units have dishwashers I believe.
Cons
Ground level apartments have rodent issues, neighbors are unresponsive to asking them to not stomp and or play against a wall. Getting the super to do anything is a nightmare
Advice to the owners
You’re tenants are what keep you making money especially those of us paying on time.
