Dirtier EV Apartment
Pros
Super is very nice but clearly overworked, cool rooftop view, people keep pretty quiet
Cons
It's always filthy, there seem to be a lot of post-college kids here who leave garbage out in the hall for days, usually food or vomit on the stairs come Sunday morning, garbage area is an absolute mess, front door lock was constantly broken last summer, roof is littered with garbage, roach infestations above us and rats/mice below us
Advice to the owners
Maintain your building and clear infestations in a timely manner, or stop charging insane rent for a crap building with no laundry
Slumlords & Con Artist
Pros
Location is the only pro and even that is subpar with what you have to deal with
Cons
Lack of repairs - the landlord is known to "band-aid" major issues such as mold & leaks (i.e. painting over issues hoping they'll go away) Lack of management responsiveness to repairs Garbage piles up and attracts large rats in the courtyard Overall cleanliness is lacking throughout the building (bugs within lighting fixtures, cockroach's in stairwells) This year - it was a battle with a neighbor and his drug addict friends (I witnessed multiple drug trades of HEROIN occur). Honestly, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the building collapsed in the far future due to lack of necessary repairs or if it ends up being condemned for black mold.
Advice to the owners
If you can't take care of your property - don't be in the business.
