Totally neglectful management
Pros
Water pressure is great, no problem with heat. Super and porter are both nice and helpful.
Cons
Building is very dirty, on the weekends there is often trash strewn everywhere and overflowing compactor rooms. The elevators always smell of urine. People leave so much trash in the stairwells and I often see and smell people smoking cigarettes and weed in the hallways. Management never responds to maintenance tickets. HUGE problem with package theft and management doesn’t do anything or respond to tenant complaints. There is often dog pee inside the lobby. Front door lock is always having problems -- either difficult to open or completely missing. I've had bedbugs in this building, I don't know why that isn't reflected in the bedbug status of this building (I suspect it's because the building doesn't report the info to the city that they are supposed to).
Advice to the owners
Respond to maintenance tickets in a timely fashion, clean the halls, take care of the trash problem, figure out some way to keep the mail area secure
Avoid at all costs
Pros
The unit itself wasn't terrible but the building is disgusting.
Cons
Roaches, mold, trash, pee in the elevator. In the summer it's not bad but in the winter it stays 85 degrees with none of the radiators even open.
Advice to the owners
Do better for your tenants.
