Dysfunctional apartment building masquerading as luxury
Pros
Lots of natural light from big windows, "fancy" appliances, keyless entry, location (corner)
Cons
Management (including super), virtually no upkeep has been done on appliances so they're all in bad shape
Advice to the owners
Lessen the load of buildings your super has so he has enough time to be present for each one.
Pretty Good Building
Pros
Building feels well built. The unit is spacious and sturdy. Walls are thick so I've never gotten a noise complaint. Neighbors have to be blasting music for me to hear anything, and even when that's happened it's been fairly muffled and quiet. Fair trade for my own freedom. The building kind of feels like a bunker, which is nice if you get overwhelmed by the city. Management was fairly attentive and the super is very nice.
Cons
Expensive units = wealthy neighbors, so the neighbors can be entitled. The super constantly had to unclog the trash chute because the neighbors carelessly threw un-bagged garbage down the chute. Also, the building is on First Ave which can be loud and hectic.
