Overall and incredible place to live
Pros
* Large apartments with incredible sun * Super responds to maintenance requests fairly quickly * Common areas kept cleanly * Quiet, nice, and private neighbors * Neighborhood is slowly developing, with new restaurants and shops popping up * Express subway very close
Cons
* Super has a history of turning water off without warning, despite frequent requests for proper warning. Not often, but still very frustrating. * The heat is crazy. Maybe it's just that heat rises, but our apartment on the 4th floor is a sauna during those uncomfortable fall/spring months with mixed weather. * There's, unfortunately, a clear homelessness/mental illness problem in the general area. Very few people, if any, will be aggressive with you, but it can be unsettling
Ridiculous rent for terrible landlord
Pros
Neighbors are great. But that’s pretty much the only thing that my money isn’t going towards. And management doesn’t care, they keep pushing out good renters
Cons
Landlord never responds to service requests and when they do receive a response they are fixed with a bandaid that often breaks days later and is never fixed. They seem to only care about making meaningful changes on units they’ve pushed renters out of so they can charge new renters a ridiculous amount. They will raise your rent by 20% and would by 100% if someone would pay it.
Advice to the owners
I don’t know. Be a person who cares about your renters livelihood and values having consistent renters instead of just looking for the highest bidder.
