Worse than you’d expect
Pros
Doormen are great. Deserve a raise.
Cons
Whole bottom floor is full of flies from trash. Super can’t even be bothered to respond to VERY basic and VERY easy fixes. Had to jam a screwdriver into the GFC outlet reset button to make it work. Bathroom seems to vent cigarette smoke or some other chemical odor. Shared outdoor space is loud as hell during the summer due to some sort of mechanical equipment in the courtyard. Constant noise at all times. Killed 4 cockroaches this week and we live VERY clean. Super insists any problem is the landlord’s fault and will not attempt to fix anything. When I moved in I scraped what must have been two decades of window filth off the outside of our windows. A month after we moved in, scaffolding went up around the entire building and seems here to stay. They advertise that heat is included but we’re paying our own heat. Equipment in downstairs gym is frequently faulty and sometimes the heat in there is like 80 degrees. Unit seems sort of slapped together and half-assed renovated. Can’t get the super or management of any kind to respond under any circumstances.
Advice to the owners
Get a clue.
Great place to live if you can handle the small space
Pros
Quiet neighbors, appliances work great, management responsive
Cons
Had a mouse problem for a few months but hole in a/c unit was fixed and that did the trick
