Great building, strange management.
Pros
Excellent superintendent. responsive, nice, understanding - all good. Building common areas are clean and seem to have been recently remodeled. Issues are addressed almost immediately by the super.
Cons
Building management does not answer the phone and does not respond to phone messages (I've made several calls to the person identified in my lease as the contact, and am yet to speak with them). They only communicate via email - usually one liners - which can be frustrating as it comes across as they really don't care. Also, there is no laundry in the building, and very few options other than expensive pick up / delivery services - major drawback.
Advice to the owners
Answer the phone. Return phone calls. Engage in a conversation with the tenants when asked a question.
Lived here for 12 months
Pros
The neighbors were polite and the landlord takes his job seriously and seems to care about his tenants.
Cons
Roaches and mice were stubborn and could not be controlled. My roommate and I kept the place very clean and had no food out-even resorted to putting spices in the fridge. Would find roaches all over my cutting board 15 minutes after cooking, wall plug ins, sticky traps, and raid did not work. Was not a huge problem in the begging, but got worse over the last few months of our stay, not sure if we had messy neighbors move in or management got lazy with extermination but if that problem is not fixed I don't recommend!
Advice to the owners
Be more consistent with exterminations and take complaints of pests seriously!
