Overall and incredible place to live
Pros
* Large apartments with incredible sun * Super responds to maintenance requests fairly quickly * Common areas kept cleanly * Quiet, nice, and private neighbors * Neighborhood is slowly developing, with new restaurants and shops popping up * Express subway very close
Cons
* Super has a history of turning water off without warning, despite frequent requests for proper warning. Not often, but still very frustrating. * The heat is crazy. Maybe it's just that heat rises, but our apartment on the 4th floor is a sauna during those uncomfortable fall/spring months with mixed weather. * There's, unfortunately, a clear homelessness/mental illness problem in the general area. Very few people, if any, will be aggressive with you, but it can be unsettling
Don’t Judge and Book By It’s Cover
Pros
Convenient area to live. Some apartments are rent stabilized if you’ve been in your apartment for over 20 years.

Terrible heating (no heat) Management is dishonest and is delayed in responding to repairs. They use cheep materials for repairs.
Advice to the owners
Really be honest and fair with your tenants.
