Great neighbors, poorly managed building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, lovely neighbors who have been in the building a long time, rent stabilized, dishwasher.
Cons:
At best management is disorganized, at worst willfully ignorant in ways that endanger the building. After a major maintenance issue, a fire hazard that was dangerous for me to touch was left in my apartment for weeks and I had to repeatedly ask for it to be taken care of. There is no way to control the radiators so when the heat is on it is on and we would open our windows and use our AC units in the winter to compensate, which raised our electric bill, negating the whole point of having heat included in our rent. The backyard is not well maintained and the building has a persistent rat problem. There has never been a consistent point of contact for residents. The basement is a confusing, unused space that could at the very least be used as storage (i.e. for bikes) like some other buildings on the block do. Or shared laundry.

It's a real shame because it's a wonderful neighborhood with wonderful people who have lived in the building for a long time.
Advice to owner:
Change management companies, take care of the building, provide a consistent point of contact for residents
