Greedy Landlord, Little Care for Tenants
Pros
Most of the tenants are kind, pleasant and quiet. The building location is nicely situated.
Cons
Upstairs neighbors that shout, drop things, have running children, fight, cause leaks. Bug infestations (roaches, waterbugs, plaster beetles) and no care to solving the issues. Leaks are responded to by painting over the damage. The front door was left broken and unlocked for months. Garbage in the back is left improperly handed, rats getting at it daily. Hallways unmaintained, dirty and trashed. Issues to management take weeks, if not months for any kind of response and handling -- usually at the barest level of resolution.
Advice to the owners
Be an active, positive force for your building. Maintain it, repair damage proactively and in a timely manner. Handle bad tenants.
It's not the worst, but you could probably find a better apartment
Pros
-very conveniently located -water pressure was fine -maintenance most of the time, is very quick
Cons
-MICE -heat is turned on at weird times -there are a lot of short term rentals
Advice to the owners
Maybe deal with the mice and short term rentals...
