    Nice Super, but peculiar management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super was always super friendly and the location was not too bad for commuting. Spacious units overall
    Cons:
    It seemed like the level of attention and maintenance (again, kind super, but their hands were tied more often than not) of the units was correlated to how much a tenant was paying, with some lower-priced units in really shabby condition with irregular maintenance, some mid-tier units in decent shape, and decked out units getting the best service. It seemed like the management’s goal was to have as much turnover as possible to be able to raise the rent-stabilized rates for the next tenant.
