Old and outdated
Pros
The live-in super is sweet. The building is convenient to a number of trains and buses.
Cons
It’s an old building that hasn’t been updated in years. Narrow hallways, sunken/uneven floors. The water pressure is atrocious, and as soon as the weather gets even a little nicer heat and hot water become unheard of. What’s not unheard of are your neighbors, even those in the adjoining separate building; you can probably carry on a conversation through the walls. Even though an exterminator comes in once a month, you’ll be sharing your space with roaches, spiders, and ants.
Advice to the owners
Invest a bit into modernizing the building. Or tear it down and start fresh. It’s not worth the rent.
Meh- needs a lot of work
Pros
The neighborhood is great. Close to the parks, train and laundry.
Cons
The building is old and needs tons of repairs. The upstairs neighbor yells all day and night. The owners a non responsive.
Advice to the owners
Start over and show some respect and care for your tenants.
