Pros
Spacious layouts, renovated apartments, laundry in building, nice super, nice views
Cons
Loud and mostly older tenants throughout. We had no heat or hot water for several months through the winter. Leaky radiators. Garbage chutes on every floor but they get so full that the room just overfills with garbage.
Advice to the owners
Actually fix the problems in your building, you won’t keep tenants by just giving units a facelift.
