Hilariously incompetent landlord, Great location
Pros
it's across from a nice park
Cons
Landlord is a piece of cardboard - and that's an insult to the cardboard. slow to respond, incapable or unwilling to do anything about the pest problem. You can tell the landlord is a just inconvenienced by having to take care of the property. Not just my opinion either -- they were placed on NYC's Alternative Enforcement Program, where the city had to step in because of so many violations. There are wonderful folks living here, older folks who've been in their units for 10, 15 + years. those apartments lack the renovations of the units where long term tenants moved out. They're 1000% just waiting for the older tenants to die or move out so they can make cosmetic renovations to the unit, jack up the rent. Zero interest in the current tenant's well being, zero interest in looking after a gorgeous pre-war building. This building could be soooo much nicer.
Advice to the owners
Give up, you're clearly not good at this so pass off the building to someone who cares and go pound sand
