Good people in a horribly managed building
Pros
Neighbors are kind and friendly. Best part of living here.
Cons
Building is falling apart. They do construction and repairs in this building like nobody lives here! Nothing has even worked at once - especially laundry. Super is not considerate of your time and flakes often.
Advice to the owners
Stop waiting until the last minute to fix things and stop trying to shift the blame onto tenants for your incompetence. If you can be affable when people renew their lease, you can at least stand to be polite when things are not working.
Slumming It Building Wise
Pros
The units facing 85th are beautiful with spacious closets and freshly painted. Kept rent the same rate for two years before raising by $50 per month. Was kind when we had to break our lease. The architecture of the building is really special.
Cons
Roach infestation issue that the landlords choose not to deal with (pest control comes once a month, not nearly enough to get the problem solved). Not a great superintendent for plumbing issues or repairs. 4 washers are shared between 2 buildings so good luck doing your laundry on Sunday. They will never fix/ paint the common areas.
Advice to the owners
Be very proactive on the roach issue with the landlords, and don't hold hope that they'll fix up the common areas. Call the super when he doesn't respond to text.
