Pests and noise
Pros
Kind neighbors, many of whom have been in the building for decades. Spacious apartments. Kind and effective Super.
Cons
Loud: Lots of street noise from music, stereos, sidewalk gatherings, and cars idling outside building. Chronic pests in apartments and no response from management about them. Ineffective exterminator comes once per month but does not solve the problem. Not secure: Front door and package closet often broken into, locks damaged by being pried open, sometimes left ineffective for weeks. False promises: apartment delivered without all promised amenities/services. Laundry machines dirty and smelling of mold. High turnover: new families don't stay long--1-2 years and gone.
Advice to the owners
Respond to tenants needs and fix problems. Clean laundry machines. Keep doors secure and operational. Take pest infestations seriously--this is a matter of tenant health.
