Great place to live if your looking for pre-war walkups
Pros
Super is nice, didn’t have much experience with building management, but they seemed on top of everything. For a 100+ year old building, it’s pretty solid if you're used to pre-war buildings. Layout is nice and spacious for the city. Neighbors are nice and no complaints. Reasonable rent increases for a market rate unit (didn't ridiculously jack my rent up after the covid deal). You seriously can't beat nearby restaurants/stores/trains/parks.
Cons
My unit is street facing, and the windows didn’t really do much help protect the noise from busy 3rd ave. You have to have a high tolerance of car/traffic noise. Nighttime was pretty quiet and you do get used to it after a while. I’m sure there are a lot worse places for noise though. Also, there were a couple days of no hot water and it sucked. Things happen though
Advice to the owners
Keep doing what you're doing!
Bad management, cheap finishes
Pros
Safe, quiet neighborhood. Responsive super for the most part. Elevator, gym and laundry.
Cons
Extremely cheap finishes. Paint chipping and mold/water damage in closets. Intercom system doesn’t work in some units. Cracks in ceiling. Low water pressure. Management doesn’t respond quickly to issues.
Advice to the owners
Stop raising rent when there are so many issues to the apartments
