Old building with negligent landlord
Pros
Convenient location, laundry in basement
Cons
Machines in laundry room are usually broken, elevator is constantly breaking down, building is dirty, people smoke in the stairwell, electric issues are out of hand (i.e. power outages, grossly overpaying for Con Edison), theft of packages, constant leaks due to old plumbing without proper repair, lukewarm water for most of the day rather than hot water, renovations needed but always put off, unresponsiveness from landlord and super.
Advice to the owners
Listen to your tenants and provide what we are paying for!!!!
Horrible building don’t waste your time or money!
Pros
Hot/Cold water available 24/7
Cons
Building is literally falling apart; there are cracks in the walls/ceiling and there are constant leaks in the apartments. Elevator is out of order literally at least 4 times a month. Most of the tenants(Not all) are very loud and are simply just dirty; they don’t take out their trash and instead leave it in the compactor room which creates a consistent roach/mice problem especially in the winter. Management (especially the super Juan) is VERY LAZY. The lobby/hallway floors get mopped once a month, sometimes even once every other month(no exaggeration). During the summertime there was a huge fly infestation in the building stemming from the basement boiler room. Juan the Super refused to give it any real attention until we had the NYC department of health come and write the building multiple summons! Been living here for 17+ years, the building was once very nice and well kept but it has now gone to crap along with the neighborhood itself
Advice to the owners
