Average apartment building
Pros
Privacy Elevator On-site laundry Super
Cons
Roaches & if the elevator went out, there was never an on call person to fix it. 6 floors and there are families with kids (strollers) and elderly with walkers.
Safe, clean, and responsive....but no frills
Pros
Large Apartments. Responsive Super and building manager. Clean.
Cons
Heat: Central computer controlled to ensure your unit is above the LEGAL minimum of habitability....so YOU WILL NEED A SPACE HEATER in every room unless you like it 62-64 F at night in the winter. Heat will turn off for several hours at a time and your unit can drop 12 degrees, so dress in layers Contractors: Building hires cheap contractors, so the updates are pretty flimsy or poorly done. The Superintendent tries to fix the things he is able to
Advice to the owners
Allow for individual heat control. Hire better contractors
