You're your own building manager
Pros
Good location, interior brick
Cons
Cockroaches, lack of cleanliness, lack of responsiveness
One big regret
Pros
Location is convenient, close to subway, lots of stores in the neighborhood.
Cons
You hear every little sound from the neighbors and outside, due to lack of insulation those sounds are actually very intense because of the echoes. Building is dirty, garbage sometimes lays not maintained for many days. Lots of rats, roaches outside and inside. Windows not sealed properly, so heat, dust, bugs, cold gets to the apartment with no time. A couple of homecides, one across the street, neighbor beaten up in front of the building, but there is no camera whatever so zero safety.
Advice to the owners
No issue is solved without a battle, and most stay unsolved. Get a camera before someone gets killed.
