Live in Super The best!
Pros
Pet friendly. Elevator Great live in super and front desk staff deals with problems quickly and maintains security
Cons
Management company leaves a lot to be desired. Laundry machines do not work well and some are often out of commission Very busy area
You're on your own
Pros
24hr security (they do occasionally try to take that away but we have fought back), sound muffling windows.
Cons
Elevators are constantly breaking with tenants getting trapped inside, laundry room is unsanitary, equipment is damaged and out of date, they're overcharging for laundry. "Amenities" are laughable, gym is falling apart and has harmed tenants, it is also unsanitary. The rooftop is dangerous and outdated, management has essentially told us we aren't supposed to be up there even though there is a rec room and tables etc on the roof. Rec room is also in decay. Management is unresponsive to tenants complaints, they often just ignore emails from tenants and even when we organize as a group to collectively demand changes, they refuse to acknowledge. Rent is raised every year and no significant changes are made to improve the quality of life.
Advice to the owners
Take care of your building and your tenants, stop raising the rent without improving the quality of life.
