Cheap but at a cost
Pros
Cheaper rent, 2 blocks away from subway, fire department 1.5 block away, post office across the street
Cons
Inconsistent heat during the winter, no hot water when needed the most, ceiling leaks, super is unresponsive and lazy (he only takes care of his own people), mail/package theft, faulty electrical wiring, landlord unresponsive, cockroach infestation
Advice to the owners
Hire a better super, fix the faulty electrical wiring, hire a real electrician
Old building with negligent landlord
Pros
Convenient location, laundry in basement
Cons
Machines in laundry room are usually broken, elevator is constantly breaking down, building is dirty, people smoke in the stairwell, electric issues are out of hand (i.e. power outages, grossly overpaying for Con Edison), theft of packages, constant leaks due to old plumbing without proper repair, lukewarm water for most of the day rather than hot water, renovations needed but always put off, unresponsiveness from landlord and super.
Advice to the owners
Listen to your tenants and provide what we are paying for!!!!
