Terrible landlord, stay away
Pros
Located in a good area, all restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores within 5-10 min walk, right next to the L train.
Cons
Absolutely horrible and irresponsible landlord. Didn’t want to fix anything, upon move out made baseless claims of damage without providing any evidence or post move out inspections. They’ve illegally split one unit into two and made one of the tenants pay electricity and gas bills for both apartments. Super was often left without a paycheck as well.
Great facade, not so great landlord
Pros
On demand hot water, beautiful backyard and roof, some apartments have modern appliances
Cons
Getting the landlord to respond to repair requests is like pulling teeth. We often have to ask two to three times for any repairs to actually happen. Our landlord is often defensive when discussing repairs, and has told us that we can feel free to move out in response to repair requests on multiple occasions. They also have missed payments to our buildings super multiple times, so he is not as present in the building as a typical super would be (rightly so, in my opinion).
Advice to the owners
Find some respect your tenants, and be more present. Don’t get defensive when tenants point out that something isn’t working in the building or apartment. Fix things in a timely manner, don’t make tenants ask more than three time’s for a repair. If you can’t manage responding to repair requests, hire someone to do it for you (and don’t forget to pay them)
