Decent building, but absent landlord
Pros
All of the neighbors I have talked to are friendly, several families live in the building. The unit itself is fine and I have not had any pest problems within my apartment.
Cons
The landlord and current super are both very hard to get ahold of. There were problems with the heat not being on when it was very cold out in the winter, it would go off for several days and we had to make a complaint with the city. The landlord was very unhelpful with this. The common areas of the building are a little dirty, not cleaned very often, and sometimes the recycling stays full for a while.
Older tenanent building - Cockroach infested
Pros
Decent apartment. Convenient location.
Cons
This building is infested with cockroaches. They send exterminators each month but that isn’t helping. The entire building is infested. There are dead cockroaches everywhere in the building and you have to step over them as you come in and out of the building. The heat is intermittent and sometimes doesn’t work when it’s really cold out.
Advice to the owners
Clean your building more properly.
